My friend told me it's worse for dogs than chocolate.. ... If a potato gets green patches on it, that contains solanine, which is very bad for both humans and dogs, though dogs seem to have a particularly bad reaction to it. Potato sprouts also have a good deal of solanine in it.

Possibly. I would take your dog to the vet immediately, just in case. Raw or green potato skins are highly toxic, so it is recommended that you do not feed cooked potato skins to a dog either, just to be safe.

Skins aren't really healthy for dogs, but as long as they aren't green and aren't eating ALL of the skin on more than one potato, then eat away.

It won't kill them but you shouldn't purposely feed them potato skins because there is too much starch and fiber. It will give them constipation.

Do you boil the potatoes for mashed potatoes with or without the skins?

Red potatoes with skin, anything else without. Actually, you can boil any potato with the skin on for mashed potatoes. Most of the vitamins and minerals are located just under the skin. If you peel the potato, there goes the good stuff. If you don't care for the skins either half peel the pots for less skins or use a ricer and the peels will remain in the ricer. It will be awfully fiddly taking the peel off afterwards, especially if you havent a ricer, if you want to keep the skins on for cooking, why not bake first, then cool a little and then take off the skins. Personally, I have always taken off the peel, and mashed, you do not really lose much , and if mashed with olive oil, until smooth, absolutely smashing.
