    The glycemic index of potatoes is not high. The glycemic index of potatoes (boiled) is 66, which is a medium GI food. In addition to the level of glycemic index (GI), the post-prandial blood glucose level is also closely related to the total amount of carbohydrates in the food The content of carbohydrates in potatoes is not very high, containing 16.5 grams per 100g of potatoes, (glucose load GL=GI×carbohydrate content (g)100) GL=90X16.5=14.85
