How to Make Patacones Fried Plantain
- Peel the plantains and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the plantain rounds for about 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly golden.
- Remove the plantains from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Once slightly cooled, gently flatten each plantain round using a heavy plate or a pataconera (a special plantain smasher).
- Heat the same skillet again over medium-high heat.
- Fry the flattened plantains for another 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the patacones from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! They're best enjoyed hot and fresh.
