To Peel or Not?

I don’t care. I prefer peeled, because they’re more refined. But I like skin-on as well, and if I’m shy on potatoes, I definitely don’t peel so I can take advantage of using every scrap I do have. If you want perfect fries and are going all out, buy the biggest russets you can find and don’t peel them; just square them off into perfect rectangles (save the trimmings in cold water in the fridge and use for roasted potatoes or chop them and add to roasted root vegetables).
