The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 137 calories for USDA reference amount at 80 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 171 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 3.1 g protein, 1.2 g fiber, and 175 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is potatoes, mashed, ready-to-eat, representing 66.5% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 cup answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 94–274 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 2709510: “Potato patty.” 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 2709510, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 patty” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 pattyUSDA-listed household measure | 55 g | 94 kcal | 2.1 g | 0.8 g | 120 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 80 g | 137 kcal | 3.1 g | 1.2 g | 175 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 160 g | 274 kcal | 6.2 g | 2.4 g | 350 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside French fries and other fried white potatoes
The comparison set contains 36 exact records in the French fries and other fried white potatoes USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2709510’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2709510’s 80 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Potato patty,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709474 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 patty to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 55 g and 160 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 94 kcal to 274 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709474
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.9 g more protein than “Potato, home fries, from fresh.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Potatoes, mashed, ready-to-eat
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Potatoes, mashed, ready-to-eat supplies 66.5% 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 the exact wording “Potato patty” fits. Inspect FDC 2709474 when “home fries; from fresh” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2709510, the close-record rule searches the USDA “French fries and other fried white potatoes” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 14 less calories, 1.9 g more protein, and 5.3 g less carbohydrate than “Potato, home fries, from fresh.”
Only this record lists Potatoes, mashed, ready-to-eat; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Onions, raw. Only the comparison record lists Potatoes, baked, flesh, without salt; Potatoes, baked, flesh and skin, without salt; Salt, table. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
4 of the six displayed differences clear 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: Vegetable oil, NFS.
Listed only in this record: Potatoes, mashed, ready-to-eat; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Onions, raw.
Listed only in the comparison: Potatoes, baked, flesh, without salt; Potatoes, baked, flesh and skin, without salt; Salt, table.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 80 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (160 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 100 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 potato, any size (100 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709510 with FDC 2709474 at equal mass; use their 80 g and 100 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709510 versus FDC 2709474 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 patty,” 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 2709510 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 171 kcal per 100 g becomes 137 kcal at 80 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.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2709510
FNDDS food code: 71503010
The scaling for FDC 2709510 can be exact while the match to “Potato patty” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 80 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
