Potato futures prices today fell by 0.17% to Rs 1,418.10 per quintal as traders booked profits at prevailing higher levels, due to subdued spot demand.
Adequate stocks position in the physical markets also put pressure on potato futures prices.

August potato shed Rs 2, or 0.15%, to Rs 1,338 per quintal in six lots.
Market analysts said the weakness in potato futures was mostly due to profit booking by the traders on lower demand against adequate stocks.
