TIPS FOR THIS RECIPE

1. If the cuttlefish and the potatoes starts to brown too much cover with aluminum foil.

2. We usually bake the cuttlefish at 180ºC (350ºF) but, if you lower the temperature to 150ºC (300ºF), despite taking longer to bake, it has the advantage of enhancing much more the flavors and the cuttlefish gets more tender.

3. If you have leftovers, store the cuttlefish and the potatoes in the fridge in a properly covered container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms). To avoid drying, do not reheat the food in the oven, reheat it in the microwave.
