Potatoes: nutrition per 100 g and example portion
Reference preparation: peeled and boiled without salt. The exact source name is “Potato, peeled, boiled without salt” (Fineli food 11511). Available carbohydrate excludes fiber and is not the same measure as US Total Carbohydrate.
Values are rounded after scaling. A small reported amount may round below 0.1 g; a missing value is marked Not available rather than treated as zero. This selected extract does not include sugar, sodium or micronutrient amounts; the full Fineli database contains information beyond these tables.

How to weigh potatoes
Weigh the peeled potatoes after boiling for this reference. A raw potato, skin-on baked potato, mashed potato and French fries describe different preparations. Oil and milk in mash are additional ingredients rather than part of this plain boiled value.
Calculate your own potatoes portion
For the 200 g example, multiply the source amounts by 200 ÷ 100 = 2. The unrounded energy calculation is 75.4 × 2 = 150.8 kcal, displayed as approximately 151 kcal. Use the same factor for protein, available carbohydrate, fat and fiber.
For another amount, replace 200 with your own edible weight. Keep the preparation as peeled and boiled without salt; if your food is prepared differently, choose a matching reference or calculate its recipe instead.
How preparation changes the estimate
A potato's place in a meal depends on its serving size and preparation. For roasted wedges, record the potatoes and oil used for the batch. Do not apply a plain boiled entry to deep-fried potatoes.
Meal ideas using potatoes
Use these combinations as menu ideas and adjust the amounts to your appetite and preferences. Each added ingredient belongs in the complete meal estimate.
- Serve boiled potatoes with baked cod, peas and a yogurt-herb sauce.
- Add cooled boiled potatoes to a bean salad and measure the dressing separately.

The following are separate reference foods, shown per 100 g for orientation. Check the preparation column: dry, raw and cooked values are not interchangeable, and equal gram weights are not necessarily equivalent portions.
