No, I would like a lot, nor would I like the unpeeled potatoes. :-)

I like my mashed potatoes creamy, but firm, with no "foreign" pieces of
things in them. Yeah, I know the peel is part of the potato, but I still
don't like it mixed in. I'm not overly fond of unpeeled french fries,
either.

OTOH, one of my favorite parts of a baked potato is the skin. :-)
