Peeling potatoes while they are boiling is not recommended as you could be burned by the hot water and/or hot potatoes.
As for peeling potatoes before you boil them, it is not necessary. You can boil them first, cool them, and then peel them. It is easier to peel the potatoes after they have been boiled.

∙ 16y agoIts a matter of choice. some peel potatoes while others do not. I will say - although I prefer peeled - the skins do have good nutritional value.
yes It's a matter of personal choice, as stated. Be sure to scrub the spuds well if one is not inclined to peel them. If this question arises from a desire to decrease prep time, a spud can be peeled in about the time it takes to adequately scrub it. There is also the fact that the peels may harbor some mild toxins, so if there is a concern about that, then peel 'em.

∙ 10y agoNo, you don't have to peel red potatoes for a stew, as long as the potatoes are fresh, meaning the peel is very thin and smooth. Be sure to wash the potatoes thoroughly before adding them in.
