Health Benefits of Potato Skin

Help with Weight Loss

In addition to being nutritious, potato skins are also satiating or filling. This means that they would make you feel fuller than other foods, which is important in losing or regulating your weight. Consuming a small number of potato skins would help curb your hunger without taking too many calories. Also, they contain inhibitor 2 or PI2, a protein that can encourage the production of cholecystokinin to suppress appetite and promote the feeling of fullness. [10]
