    Is it true that Potatoes contain starch and are a very good source of Vitamin C?

    		The potato is a good example of a nutritious â€oestarch.â€? A potato eaten with the skin offers important dietary fiber, is rich in vitamin C and a good source of potassium and vitamin B6.

    		The nutrients of the potato seem to be fairly evenly distributed between the flesh and the skin. For a medium potato, with and without the skin, nutritiondata.com gives the following:
    Nutrient Without skin (156 g) (% RDA) 33 With skin (173 g) (% RDA) 28, Vitamin C.
