Yes indeed you're correct each potato is made up of 80% water and only 20 % solids.

So a potato is more water content than solids and eating potatoes helps give you your water intake but you still need to drink plenty of water.

Just one 8 ounce potato contains 100 calories so they can be fattening although they're healthy to eat.
