4. Potatoes: A common staple with hidden oxalates

The humble potato, a staple in many diets, surprisingly contains a notable amount of oxalates. A medium baked potato, for example, has about 97 milligrams, primarily in the skin. While potatoes are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and B vitamins, those with oxalate-related health concerns should be mindful of their potato intake, possibly favoring low-oxalate starch alternatives.
