A long time ago I always ate the skins. Then I read an article that
said there was no vegetable more heavily doused with insecticides and
fertilizers than the potato and that all those chemicals resided in
the skin. That was the end of skins for me. Don't know if that is
true or not but it turned me off skins.

Only the leaves get sprayed, not the potatoes, so if it goes down to the
potatoes, it isn't only the skins that get it.
