Showing the top 50 of the 379 potatoes products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories. Figures per label, sourced from Open Food Facts and tracker user logs, last checked 2026-09-18.

Checking this because you’re trying to lose fat?

Scan your own shop with FoodSussed: calories and macros from the barcode, plus an estimated processing level from 1 to 4 with the reasons. Or start with the fat-loss guide built around Irish food.

What the potatoes numbers show

Median across all 379 of them is 2g of protein per 100 calories. 2 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in 190, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 28 to 571 per 100g inside this one group, a 20-fold spread, so “potatoes” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Own-brand is not the compromise here. The supermarket own-label median is 2g of protein per 100 calories across 183 products, against 2g for the 196 name-brand ones.

The chains are not equal on this: Tesco runs a median of 2.2g of protein per 100 calories across its 27 own-label potatoes products, Lidl 1.9g across 64.

What to actually pick

Most of what is sold as potatoes is not a protein food. The 2 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.

15 of the 379 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

The Tesco comparison above covers 27 own-label potatoes products. For other aisles, browse Tesco foods by protein per calorie.

The practical half of this — counting calories without weighing everything.

For one specific product rather than the whole group, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland, and the same figures are built into the calorie app.

Real potatoes products with a photo

Real barcode-matched products with a confirmed photo — the same rule as Calories in Ireland: a photo only shows where we have a confirmed Open Food Facts match, never a guessed stock image.

FAQ

How many potatoes products are in this database?

We track 379 potatoes products across Irish supermarkets and brands. 379 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the point below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number, so those are the ones ranked and averaged here.

What's the most protein-dense potatoes product?

The table is sorted highest protein per 100 calories first, so the answer is the top row. The more useful number is that the median for the whole group is 2g per 100 calories and 2 products clear 10g — that tells you whether potatoes is worth buying for protein at all, which protein per 100g does not.
