The math is correct but the calorie count per pound potato is way off. It is 350 kcal not 350 cal.

In the US, 1 Calorie = 1 kcal elsewhere.

We refer to kilocalories with capital-C "Calorie". I don't know why.

Probably because lower-c calories are meaninglessly small for like 99% of the population. It'd be like doing all your cooking in milligrams.
