#3Potatoes have superior potassium. I wish you could get more varieties than white, yellow, and red. I've seen purple potatoes but never by themselves. Also you should eat the skins.

I have about two dozen purple potatoes growing out back. Potatoes are actually easy to grow in bags of dirt.

Why should you eat the skins? I've heard they contain all the nutrients but I read an interview with a nutrition expert who said that was wrong (makes sense, too). He also said the highest concentration of nutrients was near the surface so I guess leaving the skin on serves this purpose (but not the skin as such! :-)
I would leave the skin on on so called early potatoes that have really thin skin. And I am using a Victorinox peeler that produces the thinnest peels for me. https://schweizer-messer.eu/victorinox-sparschaeler/ (others in the family won't use it due to the crank, though)

Most of the fiber is in the skin[1]. There's some debate about if it also contains more pesticides etc. but you can grow your own or buy organic. It is true that you want to keep your potatoes in the cool and dark, since when they green they become more toxic[2].
