Ask Dr. Potato

Q: When a potato is baked, does the starch convert to sugar?

A: When a potato is baked the starch does not convert to sugar. The only way that starch in a potato can convert to sugar when baked is if the raw potato was stored at 41°F or colder for a long period of time. If properly stored and prepared, the baked potato will turn out just fine.
