About Tortas de papa frita con aceite de canola
Tortas de Papa Frita con Aceite de Canola are a classic Latin American dish made from mashed potatoes mixed with simple seasonings like salt, pepper, and sometimes herbs or cheese, shaped into small patties, and pan-fried until golden. The use of canola oil, a heart-healthy option, offers a lighter alternative to traditional frying oils, as it is low in saturated fat and high in omega-3 fatty acids. These crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside potato cakes are a comforting and affordable meal or side dish. While rich in carbohydrates, they provide energy and can be paired with vegetables or proteins for a balanced plate. However, moderation is key, as frying increases calorie content. This dish highlights the adaptable and flavorful nature of Latin American cooking while offering options for a relatively health-conscious preparation.
