I think I heard the potato skins are deadly to them from somewhere...?

RAW potato skins are not good for chickens. Potatoes belong to the nightshade family of plants, as do tomatoes. Tomato plants and leaves are not good for them either.

Cooked potatoes are fine. Raw or cooked tomatoes are fine.

As a treat in small amounts it would be OK. It's nearly pure starch so has only its carbohydrate content for nutritional value.
