Since there is a thread about potato salad variations, my question is: Peeled taters or not? and why?
I usually use just regular white or russet potatoes. But since they have been really mealy lately, this time I'm using reds and have decided not to peel them. DH is reluctant. Thinks they oughtta be peeled.
What do you think?

I prefer them with the skins on, my spouse likes them peeled. I alternate every time I make potato salad.

I do a mashed potato salad and use reds with the peal or whites peeled. The white skins tend to be little more tough IMO

Cold potato salad is about the only time I peel them. The reds I wouldn't though.

Hot?... depends on the recipe, the potato, and how I feel at the time.
