Peeled all the way, baby
Peeled. Oh, and lumpy is okay, too.
Red potatoes with the skin (+ a little garlic & my wife’s magic touch). Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
Peeled.
Never instant.
If I’m eating mashed spud on its own, I like it with cheese, milk and marg mashed in. Mmmmm.
Peeled. With garlic. Yum.
Peeled, for Og sake !
I LOVE my taters with the peels on. Mmmmmmmmmmmm YEAH!
Sissies! Not peeled – with butter, cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
Wait six months before you let them test your cholesterol.
It depends if I am in the mood to peel 
I think there are more nutrients when you leave the peel on.
My first choice is instant. Can’t help it, I just like the texture. After that comes peeled.
I’ve been wary of the jackets-on variety, ever since I had some mashed potatoes with dark flecks that turned out to be pieces of brown paper towel. Good ol’ U.S. Navy chow(!)
(FWIW, the skin is my favorite part of a baked potato. 'Specially when it’s slightly burnt.)
For mashed potatoes we remove the peels and add sour cream. All other ways we leave the peels on. Never instant in our house.
Unpeeled Yukon gold, cooked in chicken broth, with lots and lots of garlic. Bliss.
Peeled or unpeeled matters not to me, I love em either way…Ditto with the chix broth and lots and lots of garlic…YUM…
Peeled.
Dried in the pot.
Add half and half and lots of butter.
Salt and pepper.
Some chives.
And a little more butter.
Peeled before cooking is extra “neet” but a thoroughly scrubbed potato prepared as mash with the husk on is quite good and provides extra roughage in the diet. It depends.
Sorry…
“Peeled?!”
“Mostly Peeled.”
“MOSTLY Peeled?!”
“I think it’s pretty good coverage for a disintegrated pile of potato.”
“Oh, and that’s supposed to make it taste better, is it?”
Ok. I’ll stop.
Peeled, with ketchup.
Unpeeled… the dirtier the better:-)
Okay, that’s just vile!
I thought the garlic was understood, BTW.
With the peels still on, thankyouverymuch.
We don’t use instant, but there are some frozen mashed potatoes out there that are pretty darn good…and quick too.
–snac, who is a true potato kind of a guy
