Fried cakes or “tortas fritas” as they’re known in Uruguay are a delicious fried snack that people make when it’s raining in Uruguay, but they’re obviously great at any time. This recipe is so memorable to me because I grew up eating this very often, as it rains a lot in Uruguay. I now cook this a few times a months during the weekends and my kids love Tortas Fritas. I promise this recipe won’t disappoint.
