Carbohydrates in Potatoes. A 100 g serving of baked sweet potato, or approximately 1/2 cup, contains 21 g of carbohydrates. Of those, 3 g are fiber and 6 g are sugar â the rest of the carbohydrates come from starches. A 100 g serving of baked white potato also contains 21 g of carbohydrates, with 2 g of fiber and 1 g of sugar. Although not all starches are broken down at the same rate, the types found in potatoes break down and hit the bloodstream quickly.
Some of that carbohydrate is in the form of sugars. These provide the potato, and the person eating the potato, with a ready fuel source. A bit more of the potato's carbohydrate is in the form of fiber, including cellulose polymers that give structure to the potatoâs cell walls. Most of the carbohydrate, though, is in the form of starch, long chains of linked glucose molecules that are a storage form of fuel.
