Potato, baked, peel not eaten, with butter calories: 394 per 1 medium (315 g)
This exact USDA record reports 394 calories for 1 medium (315 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 394 calories for 1 medium at 315 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 125 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6 g protein, 4.4 g fiber, and 624 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is potatoes, baked, flesh, without salt, representing 94.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 medium at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 200–556 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2709518: “Potato, baked, peel not eaten, with butter.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2709518, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cup” through “1 large” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 160 g | 200 kcal | 3 g | 2.2 g | 317 mg |
| 1 mediumUSDA-listed household measure | 315 g | 394 kcal | 6 g | 4.4 g | 624 mg |
| 1 largeUSDA-listed household measure | 445 g | 556 kcal | 8.5 g | 6.2 g | 881 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Potato, baked, peel not eaten, with butter,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709525 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 large
USDA assigns those measures 160 g and 445 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 200 kcal to 556 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709525
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.7 g less dietary fiber than “Potato, baked, peel eaten, with butter.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Potatoes, baked, flesh, without salt
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Potatoes, baked, flesh, without salt supplies 94.6% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “baked; peel not eaten; with butter” fits. Inspect FDC 2709525 when “baked; peel eaten; with butter” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 0.7 g less dietary fiber than “Potato, baked, peel eaten, with butter.”
Only this record lists Potatoes, baked, flesh, without salt. Only the comparison record lists Potatoes, baked, flesh and skin, without salt. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
1 of the six displayed differences clears the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Shared listed inputs: Salt, table; Butter, stick, salted.
Listed only in this record: Potatoes, baked, flesh, without salt.
Listed only in the comparison: Potatoes, baked, flesh and skin, without salt.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 315 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium (315 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 315 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium (315 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709518 with FDC 2709525 at equal mass; use their 315 g and 315 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709518 versus FDC 2709525 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Potato, baked, peel not eaten, with butter,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
portion size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
raw versus cooked weight
Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.
- 03
cooking method
Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.
- 04
added fat or sauce
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2709518 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 125 kcal per 100 g becomes 394 kcal at 315 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 medium has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2709518
FNDDS food code: 71507005
The scaling for FDC 2709518 can be exact while the match to “Potato, baked, peel not eaten, with butter” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 315 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
