Nutrition Information

This chart shows nutrition similarities and differences among select varieties of potatoes. All varieties of potatoes contain no fat, no cholesterol, and very little sodium. While potatoes contain very little protein, the quality of the protein is very high, comparable to eggs. You’ll notice that as water content decreases and total carbohydrate content increases so do the calories in 1 cup portions. Most varieties of potatoes are good sources of potassium while vitamin C content varies greatly. Cooking will decrease the vitamin C content of potatoes since heat degrades vitamin C, but other nutrients are negligibly affected by cooking.
