Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Potato baked peel, begin by separating “Potato, baked, peel eaten” from “Potato, baked, peel not eaten, with vegetables.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 14 named USDA records in view: 14 direct matches. All sit within “White potatoes, baked or boiled.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first two description segments” placed these 14 records together under the exact grouping key “potato baked.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Potato baked peel, this page can compare 14 named records from FDC 2709524 through FDC 2709523. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

285–315 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.1× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

67 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “baked, peel eaten”; the higher is “baked, peel not eaten, with meat.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

2.9 g protein gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “baked, peel not eaten, with butter” (1.9 g) and “baked, peel eaten, with chili” (4.9 g).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every potato baked peel.

Important: “Lower” begins with Potato, baked, peel eaten; “higher” ends with Potato, baked, peel not eaten, with meat, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every potato baked peel meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Potato baked peel, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 285 to 315 grams—a 30-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 265 calories for “baked, peel eaten” to 504 for “baked, peel not eaten, with meat.” At a fixed 100 grams, “baked, peel eaten” is 93 calories and “baked, peel not eaten, with meat” is 160—a fixed-weight separation of 67 calories. For Potato baked peel, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “baked, peel eaten”, “baked, peel eaten, with chili”, “baked, peel not eaten”, “baked, peel not eaten, with chili”, and “baked, peel not eaten, with vegetables”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes salt, table; differentiating rows include butter, stick, salted, cheese, cheddar, potatoes, baked, flesh and skin, without salt, and potatoes, baked, flesh, without salt. On this Potato baked peel page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Potato baked peel” cannot resolve the differences between Potato, baked, peel eaten and Potato, baked, peel not eaten, with vegetables. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 285–315 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “baked, peel eaten”, “baked, peel eaten, with chili”, “baked, peel not eaten”, “baked, peel not eaten, with chili”, and “baked, peel not eaten, with vegetables”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include salt, table; rows that vary across the set include butter, stick, salted, cheese, cheddar, and potatoes, baked, flesh and skin, without salt. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Potato, baked, peel eaten” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Potato baked peel unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that potato baked peel is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“baked, peel eaten”, “baked, peel eaten, with meat”, “baked, peel not eaten, with cheese”, and “baked, peel not eaten, with vegetables”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Potato baked peel source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 14 exact records behind Potato baked peel source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Potato, baked, peel eaten, with meat is higher in total fat per 100 g

Potato, baked, peel eaten, with meat reports 8.3 g versus 0.1 g for Potato, baked, peel not eaten: a 8.2 g difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Potato, baked, peel eaten is denser; Potato, baked, peel eaten, with sour cream is higher in its source amount

Record identity is part of the estimate

Distinguish “Potato, baked, peel eaten” from “Potato, baked, peel not eaten, with vegetables”

These are separate USDA records with separate formulations or survey descriptions. Match preparation, additions, and the named household amount before borrowing either record’s nutrients.
