About Medium baked potato
A medium baked potato is a hearty, versatile food commonly seen in Western cuisine, particularly in British and American kitchens. This simple dish is made by baking a whole potato until its skin becomes crisp and its insides turn soft and fluffy. Nutritionally, a medium baked potato (about 150g) is naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, providing a good source of carbohydrates for energy. It’s rich in potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber, especially if you eat the skin. It contains about 160 calories, depending on size and preparation. While the potato itself is healthy, toppings like butter, sour cream, or cheese can add significant amounts of fat and calories. For a lighter option, consider pairing it with steamed vegetables, salsa, or a dollop of Greek yogurt. Its simplicity and nutritional benefits make it a staple in balanced diets worldwide.
