The Past Participle
'Fritas' is the feminine plural form of the past participle of the verb 'freír' (to fry). It acts like an adjective, so it must match the gender and number of the noun it describes.
Matching Gender and Number
Since the word ends in '-as', it must describe feminine, plural things (e.g., 'papas' or 'alitas'). For masculine plural things, use 'fritos' (e.g., 'huevos fritos').
