Baked potatoes mainly contain starch. So salivary amylase acts on it in mouth. But its action ends in stomach due to acidic pH. Pancreatic amylase and disaccharidases act in the intestine. Salivary amylase and pancreatic amylase digest starch into maltose. Maltase (a disaccharidas in the intestinal juice) digests maltose into glucose.
