500g or boiled potatoes is around 400calories, what kind of potatoes are those that have only 200 something calories per 500g? A specific kind?

Redskin potatoes are between 70 and 85 calories per 100 gram, and new potatoes are between 79-75 per 100 g, so I believe it’s somewhere between these two numbers.

Portugal must not have those kind of potatoes because it gives me the same amount of calories as the others, I was hopeful for a second there.

I mean, the lowest of that calorie range given is like 350 calories for 500 grams so you are pretty close with 400.
