The exact origins of the Haitian Patty are unclear, but it is believed to have been influenced by French and African culinary traditions.

The traditional filling for a Haitian Patty consists of ground beef, onions, garlic, and a variety of spices. These spices often include thyme, parsley, scotch bonnet peppers, and cloves. The filling is typically cooked until it is tender and flavorful before being encased in a flaky pastry shell.
