1 piece (medium) of Low-Oil Baked Potatoes (180 g) has 185 calories. That works out to 103 calories per 100 g. It contains 38.5 g of carbs, 4.5 g of protein, 2.2 g of fat and 4 g of fiber. Its 0.5 mg of B6 covers 32% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 85 (high), so it raises blood sugar quickly.
Low-oil baked potatoes are made by roasting potato wedges or chunks with a modest amount of oil, often with herbs and spices. The oven gives them browned, lightly crisp edges while the centres stay soft; garlic, paprika and rosemary are popular additions, though simple seasoning lets the potato’s flavour come through.
They work as a side for roasted vegetables, beans, fish or meat, and can also anchor a casual meal with a salad and a dip. Using less oil than deep-frying keeps the dish relatively low in fat, while potatoes contribute filling carbohydrates, potassium and vitamin C. For a lighter plate, keep the oil measured and pair the potatoes with vegetables or a fresh, tangy sauce.

Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Dry the cut potatoes thoroughly, coat them lightly with oil, and spread them in a single layer on a preheated tray. Crowding traps steam and softens them, so use two trays if needed and turn the pieces once while baking.
Low-oil baked potatoes usually take about 30–40 minutes at roughly 400°F (200°C), depending on the size of the pieces. They are ready when browned outside and easily pierced with a fork; turn them once for even cooking.
Soaking is optional for low-oil baked potatoes. A brief soak can remove some surface starch and help the edges crisp, but dry the pieces very thoroughly afterward; otherwise, excess moisture can make them steam.
Starchy potatoes, such as russets, give low-oil baked potatoes a fluffy middle and crisp edges. Waxy varieties hold their shape better, so they work well when you want firm wedges rather than soft, fluffy pieces.
No, peeling is not necessary for low-oil baked potatoes. Scrub the skins well under running water and dry the potatoes before cutting; leaving the skin on gives the wedges a more rustic texture.
Yes, you can cut potatoes ahead for low-oil baked potatoes, but keep the pieces submerged in cold water in the refrigerator to prevent browning. Drain and dry them completely just before seasoning and baking.
Paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and rosemary all work well on low-oil baked potatoes. Toss the seasonings with the potatoes and a little oil before baking; add fresh herbs afterward so their flavor stays bright.
Low-oil baked potatoes keep for about 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator once cooled. Refrigerate them promptly, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Reheat low-oil baked potatoes in an oven or air fryer to bring back some crispness. Arrange them in a single layer; a microwave is quicker but tends to leave the outside soft.
Low-oil baked potatoes pair well with a yogurt dip, salad, grilled vegetables, or a protein such as beans, fish, or chicken. Adding a protein-rich side makes them a more satisfying part of a meal.
