Calories in Potato
Plain potatoes get a bad rap but they're actually one of the most filling foods per calorie. A medium boiled potato has about 116 calories. Problems start when you add butter, sour cream, and bacon — that's when a 116-calorie food becomes 400+.

Good to know
Boil or bake rather than fry — preparation method matters more than the potato itself.
Cooling cooked potatoes increases resistant starch, which feeds gut bacteria.
Keep the skin on for more fiber and nutrients.
