Potato powder, instant, raw

Instant potato powder is dehydrated potato used to make mashed potato. The figures here describe the raw, dry powder before water, milk or other ingredients are added. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 75g per 100g, alongside 7.7g of fibre and 8.4g of protein. It also contains 1.1g of salt per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while fibre supports normal bowel function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Adding liquid changes the nutrient amounts per weight of prepared potato, and ingredients such as butter or milk also affect its composition. The full nutrient figures for the dry powder are shown in the tables below.
