That's a myth though. Most of the nutrients are in the potato flesh.
Do you have a source for that?

The source you posted states that "potato skins offer about half the nutrition of potato meat". Meaning potato flesh has about twice the nutrition of the skin. I didn't claim that the skin has no value, just that the majority of the nutrients are in the flesh.
