Yes, of course you can eat potato skin. It's a good source of fiber, and some micronutrients like potassium, calcium, vitamin C, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese,iron, zinc, and copper. It also contains a B group of vitamins and antioxidants too. So it's very healthy for us.
Next Steps
Potatoes are very nutritious but they're high in calories. so we are keeping it in a cereal group not in a vegetable group. so you can have it but in a limitation.
Health Tips
wash it properly and if you have any disease in which fiber is restricted then you need to remove the skin.

Hi,
Peels are the storehouse of fiber. So you can cook & eat with peels provided that you dip & wash thoroughly before cooking.
