Can the potato skin be eaten directly?

When I was young, my mother gave us less potatoes, and they usually don't peel them. Can I eat the potatoes directly?

    Potato skin contains alkaloids. If the human body ingests a large amount, it will cause nausea, diarrhea and other reactions. This toxic compound cannot be removed even when cooked. Therefore, it is best to peel potatoes, especially to peel off the green skin.
