Anyone knows the difference in weight of a raw potato to a cooked (grilled) potato?!

    The last time I baked a potato, it was 9.8 ounces raw and 7.something (I think 7.9) after it was baked. Grilling should be similar enough to that.

    If you weighed the potato prior to cooking, log it as raw. If you weighed after, log it as cooked.

    Not all potatoes are the same, so weight changes may vary between types and sizes. Make sure you're logging the specific potato you use (e.g. Yukon Gold, fingerling, etc).
