The skin of the potato contains the majority of the potato's fiber, and many of the nutrients (especially vitamin C) are located close to the skin.

If they are sweet potatoes or red potatoes the skins are edible. Regular white potatoes the skin can taste terrible. But that also depends on the variety.

Eat the skin, regardless of the potato type.

Make sure its cleaned properly. Just like ForemanRules said, it contains most of the fiber.

A fairly knowledgeable bodybuilder saw me eating a sweet potato last week and told me not to eat the skin.
Would be curious if there's any more thoughts on this?

Maybe sweet potato skin is hard to digest.

There is really no reason not to eat it... It has a good portion of fibre and vitamins/minerals in it.~
