My worms have never complained about potato peelings. They seem to eat them just fine....also the pillbugs enjoy them.

Make sure you microwave or boil the potato peelings first or they will

I'm thinking of starting a small worm bin to recycle some of my kitchen scraps. I'll try torn newspapers and cocopeat (coir) as a bedding material. I usually have a good supply of discarded lettuce leaves which I think the worms would like. Maybe I can give them potato peelings and pulp from a juicer.
