What is "salchipapas"

A salchipapa or salchipapas is a fast food dish commonly consumed as street food throughout Latin America, originally from the streets of Lima, Peru and also consumed in Colombia, Bolivia and Ecuador. The dish's name is a portmanteau of the Spanish words "salchicha" ( sausage) and "papa" ( potato). Salchipapas typically consist of thinly sliced pan-fried beef sausages and French fries, mixed together with a savory coleslaw on the side. The dish is served with different sauces, such as ketchup and mayonnaise, crema de aceituna (olive sauce), along with aji or chili peppers. Sometimes a fried egg or cheese is added on top; it can also come with tomato and lettuce, and is occasionally garnished with oregano.
