A medium-sized potato (about 150 grams) contains approximately 130 calories, which is roughly 540 kilojoules of energy. The energy comes primarily from carbohydrates, particularly starch. When consumed, the body breaks down these carbohydrates to release energy for various physiological processes. However, the exact energy yield can vary based on cooking methods and individual metabolism.

What potato produces the most energy?

I assume you're thinking of a potato battery sort of thing. The answer, which is surprising to most people, is that the potato doesn't really matter much. The electricity comes from redox reactions involving the metal strips.


How does a potato get the energy that it needs to grow?

You could eat it. The calories in it are a measure of the energy it stores for nutrition. You could, perhaps, dry it and then burn it for heat. Bit of a waste of a good potato if you ask me. You could stick a length of copper and a length of zinc into it and use it to provide electrical energy. It's not as good as lemons, but it still works. It occurs to me that if you throw the potato, it will have kinetic energy but the energy has been put into the potato by your arm, so that probably doesn't count.
