About Papa cocida

Papa Cocida, translating to "boiled potato" in Spanish, is a staple in many Latin American diets and globally cherished for its simplicity and versatility. Made by boiling whole or sliced potatoes, this dish is often served as a side or incorporated into meals. Potatoes are rich in carbohydrates, making Papa Cocida an excellent source of energy. They also contain fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and various antioxidants that support heart health, digestion, and the immune system. As it’s prepared without added fats or heavy seasonings, it’s naturally low in calories and sodium. However, health benefits can vary based on portion size and any added toppings like butter or cheese, which increase fat content. Rooted in worldwide cuisine, especially prominent in Latin and Andean traditions, Papa Cocida is a simple, wholesome option that bridges cultural tastes while offering essential nutrients for a balanced diet.
