Measuring potato
The raw record is russet potato with flesh and skin. The baked record is baked potato with flesh and skin, without salt, and it does not name a variety. Per hundred grams, raw potato is 79 kcal and baked is 93 kcal. Baking drives off water, so a baked potato weighs less than the raw one it came from and each gram carries more energy. Peeled, boiled, mashed, fried and roasted potatoes are not on this page, and other varieties such as red or Yukon gold can differ from the russet record. Butter, sour cream, cheese and oil are separate entries: log them next to the potato.
Common questions
How many calories in one medium baked potato?
A medium baked potato with skin is 161 kcal at 173 g, from the USDA baked flesh-and-skin record. Real potatoes vary in size, so weigh yours when you can. Toppings are not included.
How much does a medium potato weigh?
The USDA medium baked potato row is 173 g, and the medium raw russet row is 213 g. The raw row is a different sample from the baked row, and baking removes water, so a baked potato of the same size weighs less. Small and large potatoes have their own rows.
Are potato calories with or without the skin?
With the skin. Both the raw and the baked record are flesh and skin. Peeled potato is not covered on this page, so do not use these numbers for a peeled one.
Is a raw potato weight the same as a baked potato weight?
No. Baking drives off water, so the potato weighs less afterward and each gram holds more energy: 79 kcal per hundred grams raw, 93 kcal per hundred grams baked. Log the weight you measured with the state you measured it in.
