Papas, known as potatoes in English, are versatile starchy tubers originating from the Andean region of South America. They are a staple food in various cuisines, from Latin American dishes like papas a la huancaína to global favorites such as mashed potatoes and fries. Rich in carbohydrates, they provide a quick source of energy and contain essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber, especially when consumed with the skin. Papas are naturally low in fat and cholesterol, making them a healthy option when baked or boiled. However, their nutritional profile can shift significantly depending on preparation; deep frying or adding excessive butter and cream can increase calorie and fat content. Adaptable and nourishing, papas remain an integral component of diets worldwide, appreciated for their comforting texture and ability to complement diverse flavors.
