Raw Red Potatoes. A raw small red potato, one that is 1 3/4 inch to 2 1/4 inch in diameter, contains 119 calories. If you are dicing them, a half a cup of diced potatoes contains 52 calories. If you bake, boil or steam your potatoes, you add no additional calories.
Potatoes range in size, of course, so the calorie count differs. A small baked potato (about 2 inches in diameter) has about 130 calories while a large baked potato (up to 4 inches in diameter) can have about 275 calories. There's more than one way to prepare and serve baked potatoes. Toppings such as butter, sour cream, and cheese will add more (sometimes a lot more) calories.
