pomme rosti

in this recipe it says to rinse the potato shreds to get rid of excess starch, why would you want to do this though? isn't the starch what helps potatoes get crisp anyway?

It is done in a cvap oven, so it'll bake into shape with steam as well, if I do it at home in my oven I find that just tossing it in butter immediately keeps the color, then in a non-stick pan with the lid on and it'll take a while to get brown.
