Cookie Press with a Potato Ricer: To Peel or Not to Peel?

In summary, a cookie press is a kitchen tool used to make uniform and consistent shaped cookies by pressing cookie dough through a shaped disc onto a baking sheet. It can be used to make a variety of cookies and should be cleaned and maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions. A potato ricer is a kitchen tool used to mash cooked potatoes into a fine, fluffy consistency by forcing them through small holes. It can also be used for other foods such as cauliflower, apples, and boiled eggs, as well as for making homemade baby food and straining fruits for jams and jellies.

When you use the cookie press as a potato ricer do you leave the skin on your potato or do you still need to peel it first?
 
When they showed us the demo at Conference, the potatoes were peeled. I don't know if it would work for skin on mashed potatoes but I don't think it would hurt to try. :)I keep forgetting to use my press this way until I'm in the midst of mashing my taters with either the masher or the mix and chop...
 
It isn't that easy with peeled potatoes so I doubt that it would work well with the skin on.
 
I would think not however it may work with say like small new red potatoes cause they have a thinner skin, however I would not think it would work with regular ones cause the sking is thicker.
 
The redesigned cookie press has only just launched with us in the UK and everyone is very excited about the inclusion of the potato ricer disk as a potato ricer has been a product our UK customers have been requesting for years! However, I'd love your honest feedback on this product ladies and gents please!
