About Salvadoran pasteles with potato
Pasteles with potato are a savory delight from Salvadoran cuisine, showcasing the nation's rich culinary heritage. These deep-fried turnovers feature a golden, crispy masa shell made from corn dough, stuffed with a flavorful filling of seasoned potatoes, carrots, and sometimes ground meat or herbs. The filling is lightly spiced, offering a comforting and hearty bite. Pasteles are typically enjoyed as street food or part of traditional meals. While undoubtedly indulgent, the dish contains nutrients like vitamin A from carrots and potassium from the potatoes. However, its deep-fried preparation makes it high in saturated fats and calories, which should be considered for a balanced diet. Pairing pasteles with a fresh side salad or curtido (pickled cabbage slaw) can add fiber and nutrients, offering a more balanced eating experience.
