I am concerned that this will get trapped in my intestine and rot. I read online that it could be quite dangerous. I could use advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BacKaran Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I make red potatoes with the skins on for mashed or roasted, same with russet potatoes, wash them first but the skin is just extra fiber for the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they are hard to digest. A lot of fiber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you don't cotton to eating the skin, which is digestible, remember that the potato itself contains the potassium and vitamin C that is very good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless potatoe skins have given you a problem before I wouldn't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
