Pretty confused about the nutritional info regarding white potatos

For 1 small MFP says 119 calories, while google says 63. Is google's not reliable?

here is a link to google's: https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=white+potato+nutrition

    Going to your link, Google says a potato is 69 calories per 100 g. The average russet potato is 6 ounces, or 170 grams, or 1.7 portions. 1.7 portions times 69 calories is 117 calories, which is close to the 119 calories that MFP says.
