Nutritional values

Potatoes have a particularly high nutrient density. They are also rich in energy-producing starch - but our body first has to break it down. It takes time for the long carbohydrate chains to be broken down into their individual components. That's why potatoes keep you full for a long time and prevent cravings.

Why put potatoes in water for patatas bravas? This process washes starch from the potatoes. This makes them even crispier.
