General answer: No.

However, it really depends on which stage of the Atkins diet. In the primary (induction) phase, carb intake is typically limited to less than 20 grams per day (not counting fiber). A potato contains on average 26 grams of carbs MINUS 3 grams of fiber yielding 23 grams of allowable carbs which is greater than the "critical carbohydrate level" for this stage.

You can; however include starchy vegetables including potatoes in the "Ongoing Weight Loss" phase of Atkins.

Can you eat baked potatoes on Atkins diet?

On the Atkins diet, which emphasizes low carbohydrate intake, baked potatoes are generally not recommended.

Instead, the diet encourages the consumption of low-carb vegetables and protein sources. If you're following Atkins, it's best to focus on alternatives that align with the low-carb guidelines.
