Potato skins have vitamins and minerals, including iodine. If you limit table salt or use pink salt that hasn’t been fortified with iodine, eating potato skins can help you get iodine in your diet. However, potato skins with cheese and bacon become less healthy. It is a food that should be eaten in moderation. One reason to make your own baked potato skins with cheese and bacon is because you can control the ingredients. You don’t have to load on the cheese to get a tasty appetizer.
