Sur les pages de plans repas, la quantité de glucides de chaque repas est calculée par différence : calories totales moins les calories des protéines et des lipides, divisées par 4.

Si vous avez une maladie rénale ou une autre affection médicale, demandez conseil à votre médecin avant d'augmenter les protéines.

Fried potato is a favourite side cooked in a cast-iron pan with onion and garlic.
About this dish: Pan-fried potatoes
Pan-fried potatoes with onion are a homely dish, made from raw potatoes or from yesterday's boiled ones. Slices or sticks go into a hot pan and are fried, turned now and then, until a golden crust forms. Many people like them with mushrooms, cured fat, pickled cucumbers or sauerkraut.
The calories depend largely on the oil the potato soaks up. By the table 100 g gives about 185 kcal, and a 200 g portion roughly 370 kcal and almost 6 g of protein. The fat alone accounts for 100 to 200 kcal of the portion, depending on how much went into the pan. Added cracklings (15 g is 105 kcal) or a spoon of sour cream (30 kcal) push it higher still.
To lighten the dish, bake the slices in the oven with a spoon of oil: that gives about half the calories of the pan. You can also boil the potato until half cooked and then fry it quickly in a non-stick pan. To add protein, serve it with an egg or a piece of chicken breast, and use yogurt with dill in place of sour cream. Sauerkraut adds volume and goes well with the taste.
Where the numbers come from
This dish has no single entry in the reference databases, so the values are calculated for a typical home recipe: ingredient shares multiplied by their composition in USDA and Ukrainian tables, including the fat that goes into the pan.
Sliced potato fried in oil with onion, without cracklings. Calories are derived from protein, fat and carbohydrate at 4, 9 and 4 kcal per gram, so the numbers on the page never contradict each other.
Your kitchen will differ: real calories for a dish like this are usually within ±15%, which for this portion means 315 to 425 kcal. See the Method page for sources and calculations. These are general guides, not medical advice.
What changes the calories
The potato absorbs oil, and the oil makes the difference: 100 to 200 kcal per portion from the fat alone. Oven-baked with a spoon of oil it comes out about half as caloric.
Extras that change the portion

By energy source the dish splits into 6% from protein, 48% from carbohydrate and 46% from fat.
Count your own portion
Portions differ for everyone. To avoid guessing, photograph your own plate: the free Calories from a photo tool estimates the dish, the portion weight, calories and macros in a few seconds, with no signup. One scan a day.
Without a photo: multiply 185 kcal by the weight of the cooked dish in grams and divide by 100. For example, 250 g is about 463 kcal.
