Hell yes, it's more flavourful than the inside if it's done right, especially with melted cheese. A lunchtime favourite when I was in secondary school.
very rarely eat baked potaoes so i dont really remember but isnt the skin really hard and gross on baked potatoes? thats how i remember eating it, we always left the skin/Hard Shell.
as for other potatoes like boiled ones i only eat the skin of summer potatoes
