New and salad potatoes are starchy vegetables. The figures here describe potatoes boiled in salted water, with both flesh and skin included. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with some fibre and protein. Per 100g, they contain 15g of carbohydrate, 1.8g of fibre, 1.8g of protein and 377mg of potassium.
Carbohydrate provides energy, while fibre supports normal bowel function. Potassium helps nerves and muscles work normally. These boiled potatoes contain little fat or saturated fat, although adding butter or other fats changes this. The salt content can also vary with preparation and any salt added at the table. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
