Potato (white, unpeeled, raw)
Vegetables · Root Vegetables
White potato has a green 75 g reference in Monash's raw, unpeeled entry, described as a quarter of a cup. The entry also explicitly states that it remains low FODMAP up to 500 g. That larger figure describes the app's range, rather than a recommended amount to put on a plate.

Is potato (white, unpeeled, raw) low FODMAP?
All six indicators are green in the inspected white-potato portion panel. No amber or red potato serving was shown in this record. The explicit 500 g statement should not be expanded into claims about unlimited portions or about prepared foods containing potato.
Potato (white, unpeeled, raw) and IBS: what to know
For someone comparing potato meals, the preparation can be as useful to record as the potato itself. A plain cooked potato, a creamy gratin and a seasoned packet snack have different ingredient lists. Consider sauces, milk, seasonings and accompaniments on their own merits when assessing the finished dish.
Gut-friendly ways to eat potato (white, unpeeled, raw)
Match the reference by weighing white potato raw with the skin on, then cook it for your meal. For a shared mash or bake, keep a note of the potato amount before adding other ingredients. If your recipe actually calls for white kumara, use that guide; red potato also has its own checked page.
Frequently asked questions
Does the quarter-cup label limit me to that amount?
It is the household description attached to the 75 g reference. The same entry explicitly gives the broader low-FODMAP range; a personal meal portion is a separate decision.
Are chips rated by this white-potato entry?
The checked food is raw unpeeled white potato. Commercial chips or other processed potato foods need consideration of their preparation, ingredients and matching food records.
Can I replace the raw weight with the weight after boiling?
The checked entry does not supply a raw-to-cooked conversion. Measuring before cooking preserves the connection to the source rather than assuming the weights are interchangeable.
