Fried Plantain Patty Made from Green Plantains!
The plantain is sliced, pre-fried, then flattened — hence the name "patacón", which means "flattened plantain."
The patty is fried again to achieve a crispy outside and a soft inside.
It’s a popular street food that’s easy to prepare.
Most popular in:
Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic.
It is served as a side dish, paired with meats, or with dipping sauces.
Why it’s so popular:
It’s high in carbohydrates, can be seasoned in many ways, grilled, boiled, or fried.
Plantains grow all year round and are much more cost-effective to cultivate, making them an important staple food.
However, they are not eaten raw, as they are not pleasant in taste when uncooked.
