Potatoes, old, roasted in rapeseed oil

These are mature potatoes, sometimes called old potatoes, which have been parboiled and then roasted in rapeseed oil. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with some fat from the oil, as well as fibre and a range of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 26g of carbohydrate, 5.7g of fat, 2.7g of fibre and 597mg of potassium.

Carbohydrate supplies energy, while fibre helps support normal bowel function. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Rapeseed oil provides mainly unsaturated fat, although the added oil also increases the energy content compared with potatoes cooked without fat. Salt added during cooking or at the table will increase the salt content. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
