I actually never tried cooking wedged fried potatoes with the skin peeled. It doesn't taste any different, although the skin does give it a slightly different texture.Never tried wedged fried potatoes with skin on... Is it any different in taste compare to stick shape fried potatoes?...
...in the first place, keeping the skin on makes the potato far more nutritious. Just make sure to scrub the potatoes with water and clean it of all dirt/pesticides thoroughly before frying and you'll be fine.
