Potato Skins

One thing I got from reading "The Saccharine Disease" is the importance of potato skins.  Eating the skins with potatoes apparently has a few benefits.  First, it adds fiber which lowers the glycemic index.  Second, the skin appears to be a source of additional vitamins.

Honestly, I had never thought about this before.  But I have been eating whole potatoes with the skins lately, and it has been pretty neat.  Adding some oil to a hot potato makes for a tasty food choice.
