Hi everyone, I'm a little embarrassed to admit, but I've never gotten the hang of peeling whole carrots and how is the taste affected if one doesn't? I just shred them for carrot cake. For potatoes I leave the skins on all the time since there are a lot of vitamins and minerals in them. I only peel sweet potatoes after cooking. Hope everyone has a nice weekend. Jeanne
