Boiling potatoes with vs. without skin It seems I got me thinking ...

When boiling potatoes in water or a steamer, what, if any, is the effect of peeling the potatoes before vs. after the cooking process?

Does it matter at all whether they are peeled before or after?


wrt. to taste in general
wrt. to "texture" of the boiled potatoes, when post-processing them further.
I almost never peel potatoes. I like the flavor and texture of the skins, even in mashed potatoes, and unpeeled potatoes are less prone to becoming waterlogged.

According to Tablespoon.com, the Idaho Potato Commission recommends that you leave potatoes unpeeled for boiling for reasons of flavor and texture, even if you intend to peel the potatoes after boiling.
