Tortas de Papa Fritas, or Fried Potato Cakes, are a beloved staple of Latin American cuisine, often served as a comforting side dish or vegetarian main. Made with mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, and a touch of seasoning, these golden patties are pan-fried to crispy perfection. Some variations include cheese or fresh herbs for added flavor. With their rich, satisfying texture, they offer a hearty dose of energy from carbohydrates, making them a filling option. While relatively low in fat when pan-fried in limited oil, their nutritional profile can change depending on added ingredients or frying methods. They are a great source of potassium and vitamin C from the potatoes, but moderation is key to keeping portions balanced, especially for those watching caloric intake. Tortas de Papa Fritas showcase an approachable way to enjoy traditional flavors while incorporating simple, wholesome ingredients.
