If you eat them, what do you add to baked potato skins to make them
tastier? I'm trying to eat them to add to my fiber intake. Oil?

I find them rather unpleasant. Is it an acquired taste?

TIA


If they are the skins from a real baked potato (no foil) I don't add
anything because they have a nice flavor.


Well but, what do you do with the "meat" of the potato? That's fiber! I
squeeze the meat out of the skin and throw the skin away.

Most of the fiber is in the skin. I just cut a real baked potato up and
eat the skin and flesh. The skin has lots of taste if it is baked not
steamed.


We were "forced" to eat potato skins as kids. After leaving home, I refused
to eat them, to this day. I can't imagine just eating the flesh is
depriving me of substantially less fiber.
