it is high heat capacity. this means for the same amount of thermal energy supplied to the potato, the potato rises by a smaller temperature increase.
this could be due to the colloidal arrangement of the starch and stuff in the potato.

High thermal mass, low thermal conductivity (especially the skin), small surface area relative to the volume.

It comes in it own wrapper that isn't as porous as other food items.
Water loses heat very quickly, so any food item that has a wet surface will dissipate its heat.

It has greater mass in proportion to surface area.
