'''Tuna potatoes''' are a [[pay-to-play|members-only]] [[food]] that require 68 [[Cooking]] to make and grant a total of 309.5 Cooking [[experience]] once all the preparation steps are complete. Each potato heals 220 [[life points]] in one bite, making them one of the highest-healing foods in the game, tied with [[manta ray]]s (also 220 lifepoints) and behind [[rocktail]]s (230 lifepoints), [[tiger shark]]s (250 life points), [[baron shark]]s (300 life points) and [[juju gumbo]] (320 lifepoints). However, preparation of tuna potatoes requires more ingredients and steps than simply cooking [[Food/Fish|fish]], which is comparatively quick and straightforward.

At 68 Cooking, it is impossible to [[burnt food|burn]] any of the ingredients for tuna potatoes; therefore, success is guaranteed when cooking them.

Tuna potatoes are sometimes cooked for [[Money making guide/Cooking(P2P)|money]]. The final two ingredients, a bowl of tuna and corn ({{formatnum:{{Exchange:Tuna and corn|View=price}}}} coins each) and a potato with butter ({{formatnum:{{Exchange:Potato with butter|View=price}}}} coins each), cost {{formatnum:{{#expr:{{Exchange:Tuna and corn|View=price}} + {{Exchange:Potato with butter|View=price}}}}}} coins together. As each tuna potato sells for {{formatnum:{{Exchange:Tuna potato|View=price}}}} coins each, buying the base ingredients and selling the potatoes nets a profit of {{formatnum:{{#expr:{{Exchange:Tuna potato|View=price}} - {{Exchange:Tuna and corn|View=price}} - {{Exchange:Potato with butter|View=price}}}}}} coins per potato. This method does not require that a fire or range be nearby, and can be performed at any [[bank]]. However, only 10 Cooking experience is earned per potato. This can be a great money maker if you gather all of the required materials, or if you buy them; it would still be a profit.

==Trivia==
* Tuna and corn heals 130 life points, and a potato with butter heals 140 life points. One may expect tuna potatoes made from both ingredients combined should heal 270 life points, but they only heal 220. This may be explained by some of the ingredients not being used in the final product, as an adventurer would likely have trouble fitting an entire tuna into a single potato.
