NOTE: if you have a lot of other side dishes i would suggest cutting that number as not everyone may want those potatoes. keep the other side dishes to weight in accordance to the principle of 8oz starch 6oz vegetables 4-8oz meat' portioned accordingly. Hope that helped

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.
