I actually prefer peeling my potatoes quite often.
If the potatoes are young and/or thin skinned like the red ones, I don't mind leaving the skin on. But many of the storage potatoes with thicker skin, I prefer it off.

“Solanine thresholds for acute toxicity are consistently misapplied in home kitchens. We’ve measured over 1,200 retail and pantry-sourced potatoes since 2022—and fewer than 0.7% exceeded 10 mg/100 g, the level at which we recommend caution. Most ‘sprouted’ potatoes tested were well below 2 mg/100 g—even with 2 cm sprouts.”

So -- do you peel potatoes? And when do you or do you not?
