Is there a lot of nutrition in potatoes without the skin?

I know most of the nutrients are at or just below the skin. I wonder the same thing to the white potato and sweet potato. Please answer each one separately. And if you can, describe nutrition. For the potatoes with nothing added to them. Thank you. I recently saw a television program that features a woman who ate nothing but french fries for 26 years and wondered how he survived and remained healthy as appeared to be. Or maybe she was taking multivitamins and I learned that in the program. And I know if I have a lot of nutrition every time you eat french fries or potatoes without the skin. And it could start making sweet potatoes, which are usually without the skin, unless you bake.

Yes, the two types of potatoes without good nutrition of the skin. The only thing that is lower in a baked potato without skin is potassium. IT leach into the water the potatoes are cooked in. This can be important if you were on a diet low in potassium. No more fiber when cooked with the skin. http://potatoes.com/Nutrition.cfm http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-potatoes-boiled-i11367 only 1% of daily iron is lost when potatoes are cooked without the skin. http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2667/2 http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2668/2 One of the links above is from a sweet potato with skin, the other is for sweet potatoes without the skin, but involves more grams of potato.
