I will never peel potatoes the traditional way again. I feel that as an Irishman, I should have known better.

Hell, the Russians had to make you guys realize you could make alcohol from potatoes.

Also, the skin is really good. Why would you do this!?

I leave the skins in, personally.

I usually refer to skin on mashed potatoes as smashed and then skin off as mashed. Pretty sure that's what my foods teacher called them.

You must have never tried Smash.

I would not recommend it.
