I doubt a small amount will hurt them but I did a little research and found this info:

I found this excerpt from this website: http://ezpuppytraining.com/dog-feeding/puppy-feeding

Give a dog a raw potato or whole grains and you will find a dog that will not be able to handle these. In other words, you will have a dog with an upset digestive system. Some uncooked starches cause diarrhea and some, such as whole grains, pass right through untouched by his digestive system.

More info on potato peels http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache...lnk&cd=4&gl=us

Dogs can't digest most vegetables (carrots, green beans, lettuce, potatoes or yams) whole or in large pieces. Potato peels and green potatoes are dangerous.
