I do not eat sweet potato skin off of a baked sweet potato.1

Only if its crispy on a baked sweet potato. Other than that, for some reason I just can't do it. The dog likes it though0

I eat it all!1

The only part of a sweet potato I don't eat are the ends.2

I prefer it with it...therefore I make sure it's an organic one though1

Nope. Nasty taste. Nasty texture.3

I don't eat potatoes much anymore but when I did, I ate the skin, both white and sweet potatoes. I was told by a Registered Dietician that most of the nutrition lies in the skin.1

Absolutely. It contains a ton of nutrients. I do this whenever possible.
A lot of our ideas about food are culturally framed.
I’ll eat orange skin, squash rind, I’ll toss moderate amounts of more bitter peels into smoothies.2 -

So I am wondering what you guys on here do. Do you eat the skin or just the inside? If you don't, do you on a regular potato?
I've done this with regular potatoes, but NEVER with sweet potatoes.1 -
Yes.
When I had problems with IBS, I stopped eating the skin for a while bc it bothered my stomach, but I'm fine with it now.0 -
I eat all potato skins, and I’m another shrimp tail eater as well.2

I didn't until recently, but now I do. I started a similar thread a month or so ago. It's delicious!3

Only when diced and roasted0

I love the skin on sweet potatoes (and regular potatoes). But, I also eat the whole (skin and flesh) portion of lime or lemon in a drink, as well as shrimp tails. I learned something today - I had no idea that anyone else ate the shrimp tails.2
