Uncooked: 75-79 kcals per 100g. Sweet potatoes are more, something like 90 kcals per 100g.

Potato is 70 cals per 100g raw weight.

You'll often notice cooked values are higher, this is because some water has evaporated. Using raw weight is best.

I've never anywhere seen the cal content quoted as this low. Though the 75-79kcal/100g I said is negligably higher so it doesn't really matter. But if cal content is of concern to you, OP, I'd go with the higher value.
