I personally would weigh them raw.
How you cook them affects how much the weigh. I would guess that boiled potatoes would have extra water weight because you cooked them in water, while roasted/baked potatoes would lose a little bit of their water and weigh less. Haven't actually tried though.0 -
I'd weigh them raw but you can probably find a calorie count for cooked potatoes online, too.0

Whether they gain or lose moisture (and therefore weight) through cooking depends on how you cook them.0 -
thanks for the info0
