A baked potato is one of the most properly rated foods on the planet.
Good side dish, no one ever really brags about it.
it's a no brainer to make. it's like bragging about how well you boil water.

or at least it should be. OP somehow managed to fukk up a potato boil by indulging his caucasity

t-dot till they bury me
One medium-sized baked potato with skin weighs about 173 grams and provides the following nutrients (2Trusted Source):

  • Calories: 161
  • Carbs: 37 grams
  • Fiber: 3.8 grams
  • Protein: 4.3 grams
  • Fat: 0.2 grams
  • Vitamin B6: 25% of the daily value (DV)
  • Potassium: 26% of the DV
  • Vitamin C: 27% of DV
  • Folate: 12% of the DV
  • Magnesium: 12% of the DV
In terms of macronutrients, potatoes are a high carb food with a relatively low protein content and virtually no fat.

The carbs they contain are mostly two types of starches: amylopectin, which your body can digest relatively easily, and amylose, a nondigestible starch (known as a resistant starch). This resistant starch provides many of potatoes’ health benefits (1Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source).

Potatoes also contain a fair amount of fiber, mostly in their skin (1Trusted Source, 4Trusted Source).

And while people don’t normally consider potatoes a high protein food, their protein content is high quality, thanks to the amino acids they contain.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Potatoes have particularly high levels of the essential amino acids lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan (1Trusted Source).

As for their vitamin and mineral content, potatoes are a good source of iron and zinc, which your body needs for oxygen transport and immune function, respectively (5Trusted Source, 6Trusted Source).

:ehh:

rather a baked sweet potato:manny:

To each one's own!

I love baked potatoes and love double baked potatoes even more! I guess it's how one prepares them...

One time, I made a Shepard's pie double baked 🥔. Iish was 🔥!! If one can cook, then said person can pretty much make most food taste good! 😎👍🏿
