About Baked medium potato
A baked medium potato is a simple yet versatile dish widely enjoyed across various cuisines, though it’s most often associated with Western comfort food. Originating from humble roots, the potato has become a global staple due to its mild flavor and hearty texture. Weighing around 173 grams, it typically provides approximately 161 calories, primarily from carbohydrates, with negligible fat and about 4 grams of protein. Rich in dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, the baked potato supports heart health and digestion. Its low sodium content further enhances its profile as a healthy food choice when enjoyed plain. However, nutritional value can vary significantly depending on added toppings like sour cream, butter, or cheese, which increase calorie and fat content. For a nutritious twist, pair it with steamed vegetables, olive oil, or Greek yogurt. Whether a part of a balanced meal or a standalone snack, baked potatoes offer both nourishment and comfort.
