This is 10 percent of the daily value for protein and 16 percent of the DV for fiber. The fiber and protein in the potato will help to fill you up so you eat fewer calories. Fiber may also help lower your risk for constipation, heart disease and diabetes.VitaminsConsuming a medium russet potato provides you with 0.6 milligrams of vitamin B-6, or 31 percent of the DV; 14.4 milligrams of vitamin C, or 24 percent of the DV; 2.3 milligrams of niacin, or 12 percent of the DV; 45 micrograms of folate, or 11 percent of the DV; 0.1 milligrams of thiamine, or 8 percent of the DV; and 0.1 milligrams of riboflavin, or 5 percent of the DV.

They are not good for making potato salads or soups with chunks of potatoes, as do not hold their shape well after boiling. Top your baked potatoes with salsa instead of sour cream and butter to limit the fat content and increase the amount of vitamins they contain. Mashing potatoes with low-fat sour cream or buttermilk instead of full-fat dairy products and baking French fries instead of frying them are also healthy, lower-fat ways to cook russet potatoes. If you make pureed potato soup, use chicken broth instead of cream for a healthier alternative.
