I still only eat the inside, because I read somewhere that there are lots of
pesticides on the skins, even if you scrub them very well (which I do). I
used to eat the skins before that, but only when they have been baked in the
real oven. Nowadays I mostly just microwave the potatoes to get baked
potatoes. They taste wonderful that way, too.
