If you think the peel is the best part and they don't cause you any
gastric distress, why ask?

"Potential for contact dermatitis

Mango peel contains urushiol, the chemical in poison ivy and poison
sumac that can cause urushiol-induced contact dermatitis in susceptible
people.[11] Cross-reactions between mango contact allergens and urushiol
have been observed.[12] Those with a history of poison ivy or poison oak
contact dermatitis may be most at risk for such an allergic
reaction.[13] Urushiol is also present in mango leaves and stems. During
mango's primary ripening season, it is the most common source of plant
dermatitis in Hawaii.[14]

Mango is generally sweet, although the taste and texture of the flesh
varies across cultivars, some having a soft, pulpy texture similar to an
overripe plum, while the flesh of others is firmer, like a cantaloupe or
avocado, or may have a fibrous texture. For consumption of unripe,
pickled or cooked fruit, the mango skin may be consumed comfortably, but
has potential to cause contact dermatitis (above) of the lips, gingiva
or tongue in susceptible people. In ripe fruits which are commonly eaten
fresh, the skin may be thicker and bitter tasting, so is typically not
eaten."

But yeah, if it doesn't bother him, that's great.

I know. That's why I deleted the website he included.

I still peel potatoes if I'm making mashed potatoes.
I don't like potato skin in mashed potaoes. I like them in boiled or
roasted potaoes
but not mashed.
