About Fritas
Fritas are a Cuban-style burger, known for their unique blend of flavors and vibrant presentation. Traditionally, a frita consists of a ground beef and pork patty seasoned with smoky paprika, garlic, and onion, often mixed with breadcrumbs or egg for texture. It is topped with a mountain of crispy, thinly-cut fried potatoes and served on a soft Cuban roll with ketchup or a tangy sauce. Some versions include diced chorizo for added depth. Originating from Cuba, fritas gained popularity in the mid-20th century, blending Cuban and American culinary influences. While flavorful, fritas are indulgent and best enjoyed in moderation as they are high in saturated fats and carbohydrates due to the fried potatoes and fatty meat mixture. However, they can be adapted using leaner protein options and baked potato strips for a healthier take on this iconic dish.
