The effects of boiling, electric oven and microwave cooking methods on the nitrogenous constituents and fatty acid composition of lipid in two major Korean potato varieties were assessed. Total nitrogen and nonprotein nitrogen contents were significant increase by electric oven baking, but these contents were significant decrease by microwave cooking. Electric oven baked potatoes were increase of 7.5%, but microwave cooked potatoes were decrease of 4.6% in total amino acids of raw potatoes, respectively. The cooking methods used in this study did not change the fatty acid pattern of lipid in the potatoes nor cause isomerization of the unsaturated fatty acids.
