Do you eat the skin, or are you a wasteful American that takes about 4 bites from the inside and leaves the rest?

If I wanted to eat the skin, I would have ordered potato skins. Eating the skin off a baked potato when there's cheese, sour cream, bacon slices (you heard me) and chives covering that bad boy would be ... well, it would be barbaric, sir.
To eat the skin, scrub it good, rub it in olive oil, salt it, puncture it, wrap it in foil. The oil and foil will get the skin soft and edible.
If you don't eat the skin, don't wrap it. The skin will get dry and crispy and will hold it all together better when you cut into it.
I usually like to eat the skin. Bites of potato, skin, and toppings all together.
What toppings do you like? My go to is cheddar, bacon, and ranch.

I only eat the skin
Butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, chopped green onikns
I eat every bit of the baked potato. Usually the skin has been soaking in the extra butter i load up with.

with plenty of salt and pepper. kosher salt on the skins. Always eat the skins. The whole potato should be gone when done!

Add some chopped brisket and it is perfect.
If you're not eating the skins, you're doing it wrong. Also, if you wrap your potatoes in foil, you're doing it wrong. Poke a few holes, oil and salt the potato and bake directly on the rack.
Scrub, dry, oil, kosher salt, and bake
I rarely eat a baked potato as a side so normally its butter, sour cream, cheddar, and chopped brisket topped with some green onion. Some of the skin gets eaten, but not all of it.

- olive oil
+ bacon grease

For sweet potatoes, wash it, then cut that sucker in half. Rub oil on the surface, and add salt & pepper. Cook it cut side down on foil about an hour at 400. Toss a pat of butter on it and eat all of it. So good.

No foil wrap, eat the damn skin. Mine looks like mashed potatoes at this point but I don't care. I also add cheddar, sour cream.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

That's funny because any barbecue restaurant you go to that has really good potatoes wraps theirs in foil
Also, do you put the lotion on its skin, or does it get the hose again?

They're making theirs in bulk and the foil keeps them warm. They'd be better without foil and cooked on the rack so the skin gets crispy. Hard to do in a restaurant.
agree with Bruce, at a restaurant when making large volumes of bakers as compared to just a few at home, foil is a necessary evil.
The more crispy the skin, the less I'm inclined to eat it. I'll continue to use foil.

What the hell kinna question is that? You some kinna commie, boy?
Nevermind, I saw this on the chicken waffle thread:
"Grilled chicken wrap, no cheese, lite italian dressing
Kale salad
12 ct grilled nuggets
Large unsweet tea"
Reckon my question has been answered.
Not a commie, just a fattie trying to be less fattie
I always eat the skins
Butter on the skin, dusting of garlic salt

I want the whole potato to be super soft. If I wanted crispy I would fry.
Absolutely covered with butter. Add salt (sometimes even garlic). Wrap with foil and bake the mess out of it. Like an hour+ at 400.
Or, if I'm not patient, cook in the Instant Pot.
