I LOVE keeping my taters covered with their native skins, as long as they get a good scrubbing. Potato skins also contain extra vitamins, too!

The habit is because I have heard there is lots of nutrition in the skin (of all veggies) though I don't know for sure. So I've just become used to leaving the cleaned skins on almost all veggies. I do peel potatoes ;) And I buy organic carrots, so I"m not worried about extra pesticides and stuff and they're typically very clean by the time I get them. So I give them a rinse and leave them as-is. Also, if they're not peeled they last a little longer. It’s a combination of habit, laziness and making them last longer.
