Yes, potato skins are hard to digest, in relation to the inside of a potato. The skins contain various anti-nutrients which deter potato predators. The anti-nutrients are namely lectins, glycoalkaloids (specific to nightshade plants). The skin is also high in fiber, which is itself hard to digest, although not exactly classified as an anti-nutrient.
