Answer

While cooking some foods do change their structure and can change how easily or difficult our bodies can absorb nutrients from the food - very rarely will cooking erase a whole micronutrition/vitamin from a food.

In potato’s case? The reason frying potatoes (I’m picturing things like french fries here) are not the go-to version of potato is because of the fat absorbed into the potato when cooking. Not because it removes the micronutrients.
