Tim,
We had one the night before last, stuffed as per my recipe. Skin was too hard to peel (not from my clay baked allotment, I hasten to add, it was a pressie), and after about 50 mins the skin just fell off. Tried to peel it initally, but nearly k******ed my spud peeler, so just shoved it in the oven, wrapped it in foil, and hoped for the best. Yummy!!!!!
