Not really, most of the things that say that are comparing equal weights of potato skin vs potato flesh.
But the skin is a negligible weight of the potato unless the potatoes are really small.
I remember doing some searching for a single skin-on jumbo potato vs a calculated equal weight of skinned potato from the same source, and the difference was negligible (less than a few percent) on every listed nutrient except for insoluble fiber, and even that wasn't much of a boost.
antioxidants ---- flavonoids, phenolic acids, and carotenoids, with red and purple potato skins providing anthocyanins.
The 'purple' is a flavonoid.
I eat small potatoes for that reason.
