Munching on a raw potato isn't as common as enjoying a baked potato, but nutrient content is similar. Raw potatoes contain more of some vitamins and minerals, but many are located in the skin, which isn't always eaten when consuming potatoes without cooking them. Many recipes are available that allow you to use raw potatoes.

Such as making raw potato chips:

10 sliced potatos
1 gallon of oil
1 shaker of salt
1 pound of pepper

Mix in a 5 gallon bucket for 1 hour, enjoy!

Potatoes can make you sick in a number of ways: from indigestible starch, also called resistant starch, that in raw potatoes can cause stomach upset, from the contamination of bacteria present in the soil and from toxins present in some potatoes.
