Haitian Cuisine
Fritay Griot
Fritay refers to fried foods. Certain fritay, like the
seasoned grated malanga fritters called akra, can trace their lineage directly back to West Africa, where similar
preparations exist with the same name. Perhaps the simplest fritay is
patat, slices of deep fried
white sweet potatoes typically served as a snack
or side dish. Bannann peze — fried slices of green
plantain that are pressed into flat discs and fried again — are
ubiquitous in Haitian cuisine, and similar to plantain preparations
found throughout the Caribbean.
