Potato
Potato is an edible tuber commonly boiled, baked, fried, mashed, or added to soups and stews.
About Potato
A potato is the swollen underground tuber of a potato plant, used as a staple ingredient rather than as the plant’s foliage. It is commonly boiled, baked, roasted, fried, mashed, or added to soups and stews. Cultivar, size, starchiness, moisture, and storage condition all influence its culinary use.
Raw potato flesh has a mild flavour and firm, dense texture. After cooking, the flesh may be waxy, floury, creamy, or crumbly, while the surface can become soft, crisp, browned, or dry according to the method. These differences are not fixed because no cultivar or preparation state is specified.
Potatoes may have tan, brown, red, yellow, or purple skin and white, yellow, or other coloured flesh. They are sold whole, trimmed, peeled, sliced, shredded, or otherwise prepared. Cooking changes firmness and surface texture, and the ingredient may be used with its skin or after peeling.

Potato nutrition & diet
Potato nutritional value
Potatoes, flesh and skin, raw
Per 100 g of the edible portion in the recorded food form.
- Calories
- 77kcal
- Protein
- 2.0g
- Carbs
- 17.5g
- Fat
- 0.1g
Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.
Portions & preparation
Use the edible tuber with skin status recorded, since peeling changes the portion being evaluated. Boiling, baking, mashing, frying, and inclusion in soups introduce different amounts of added fat, salt, or accompanying ingredients. Record whether the reference portion is cooked, cooled, or prepared within a mixed dish.
Compare the right form: Match the reference to the potato variety, skin-on or peeled edible tuber, cooking method, and plain or recipe-prepared portion.
Diet considerations
Potato is a plant-derived tuber. Plain boiled, baked, or steamed potato differs from versions containing butter, dairy, meat stock, cheese, or frying coatings. Flour or cereal coatings alter compatibility for some eating patterns. Portion and preparation determine whether its starch contributes substantially to a meal’s carbohydrate pattern.
