                                Raw potatoes contain approximately 80% water, which significantly impacts their weight before cooking. When a jacket potato is cooked, a substantial portion of this moisture evaporates, leading to a noticeable decrease in weight. The final cooked weight depends on factors such as the initial size of the potato and the specific cooking method used.
