Patatas Fritas, or Spanish-style fried potatoes, are a classic dish rooted in Spanish cuisine. Made simply by peeling and slicing potatoes into thin rounds or wedges, they are then fried in olive oil until golden and crispy. Often seasoned with a sprinkle of salt, they are sometimes paired with flavorful sauces like aioli or bravas for added zest. While their simplicity highlights the natural flavor of potatoes, Patatas Fritas' nutritional profile depends on preparation. Potatoes are a good source of carbohydrates, potassium, and vitamin C. However, frying increases their calorie and fat content, particularly if less healthy oils are used. Opting for olive oil, a staple in Mediterranean diets, provides heart-healthy fats. Moderation is key to enjoying this indulgent comfort food while maintaining a balanced diet.
