Remember to not eat the skins if you only microwaved them.

er, why, please?

There's a toxin in potato skins which is destroyed by cooking.
However, microwaving doesn't cook the skins well enough to do
so, so there's a risk you'll end up eating some.

Thanks. I know about the oxalic acid but hadn't realised that the
milliwobble didn't kill it. Be worse if there's any hint of greeness in the
skin.
