Sort of like what cold does to the starch in cooked potatoes (ok, maybe not exactly like ...). If you refrigerate cooked potatoes the chemical bonds in the starch change to a form that our bodies can't break down, and all the food value is lost. On the other hand, I suppose that must mean they lose their caloric value ...?? Maybe we can devise calorie-free french fries ...
