Haven't had any in awhile but this is what I used to do...
Microwave them, add equal and cottage chesse and kind of stuff the potatoa with it.

Um, CAN you eat the skin?

Thanks for the ideas!

You can eat the skin if it's been scrubbed clean, and the eyes are removed. It's wonderful fiber!

The skin gives me gas...be aware

The skins are where all the vits. are located.....WASH WELL AND EAT 'EM!

(I'm reminded of a place on Martha's Vineyard that use to dunk the spuds in butter and Kosher salt before serving then to you....OH GOD.... THE GOOD OLE DAYS OF SALT AND REAL BUTTER IN A DIET).

This is probably not the heathiest way to do it, but you have to try it:

Boiled, mashed, with brown sugar and butter. Mmmmm...Good.
