Is eating raw potatoes bad

Answer 1

Only somewhat. Potatoes are (perhaps surprisingly) a good source of Vitamin C, the vitamin usually identified with citrus fruits, like Oranges. Vitamin C can be destroyed by a combination of of heat and oxygen. A potato baked in its skin contains about 20 mg of Vitamin C per 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of potato. That's almost as much as in the raw veggie. The skin protects the flesh from air contact, minimizing Vitamin C loss. A boiled potato is not only more exposed, but the water used in boiling leaches out Vitamin C, which is water soluble. It contains about 16 mg of Vitaman C. Hash Browns, because their fine dice exposes more flesh to air an high heat, have much lower amounts of Vitamin C. Ah, but you're thinking about those French Fries. Surprisingly, most of the Vitamin C is retained, but you add about 14 grams of fat (potatoes themselves have virtually none). The skin of potatoes is a modest source of dietary fiber, so leaving the skin on no matter else you do, is a good nutritional idea.

due to there starches they are filled with protien and such that are really good for you.

Answer 3

Visual differences will be that there will be steam emanating from the potato. Also the skin (if it still has it) will be harder and more brittle. Taste will also appear different because the potato has lost moisture. The potato will feel hotter due to it being in the oven for the specific amount of time.
