Nutritional values

Thanks to almonds and olives, the delicious crust contains polyunsaturated fatty acids and protects the tender and very low-fat meat from drying out.

If you like, you can also mix the potatoes with freshly chopped Mediterranean herbs - rosemary, thyme and sage are particularly heat-resistant and aromatic!
