You get more smaller potatoes to the pound, so there are more potatoes and more skins. If you’re asking about “volume” or “mass” of skins, then it would depend on the relative thickness of the skins on small and large potatoes.

There will be more total surface area on the smaller potato so I’ll say the bag of small potatoes

Would be the same. The only difference would be if the smaller potatoes weighed more or less, than the large potatoes. In 10 lbs. of potatoes the skin surface is the same.
