Really confused.

Hi guys, I had a red day today and for dinner had chicken with potato wedges. So in the book it says you can 230g of potato with skin and when I weighed my potato it came up to 371 so I decided to have everything with the intention of syning the extra 141g. I made the wedges with frylight by the way. Anyway what is confusing me is in the book you have section for baked potato; flesh and skin weighed cooked 100g 7 syns, and then you have the section for potato; all varieties flesh and skin, raw 100g 2.5 syns. So my question here is which do I go with? Do I syn the potato after I have cooked it or before? Thank you.

Either, they should both work out about the same. Raw potato is heavier than cooked and that's why it appears to fewer syns. 100g of baked potato would be a lot more than 100g of raw if you see what I mean.

Phew! Thank you so much! I was freaking out as I knew the weight of the extra raw potato but didn't check the weight after cooking so I'm just gonna go ahead and syn it as 3.5.
