Potatoes, old, baked, flesh and skin

Old potatoes are mature potatoes, rather than new potatoes. The figures here are for baked potatoes with both the flesh and skin included. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 23g per 100g, alongside 2.6g of fibre and 2.5g of protein. They also contain potassium, at 600mg per 100g.

Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body, while fibre helps support normal bowel function. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. These baked potatoes contain little fat or salt on their own, but additions such as butter, cheese or salt can change the fat, saturated fat and salt content of a meal.
