    Cuisine:

    These look great. They remind me of a popular Jamaican breakfast. In our version though we use ripe plantains (very ripe) and slice then diagonally.

    Patacones (fried Plantain), I learned how to make this from my Colombian mother-in-law They are very simple to make, and taste great They taste best when they are hot out of the skillet We eat them a lot for breakfast, along with either fried eggs or scrambled eggs with tomatos and onion They also make a great side dish , These look great They remind me of a popular Jamaican breakfast In our version though we use ripe plantains (very ripe) and slice then diagonally

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Peel Plantain, and Cut It Width Wise Into 3 or 4 Pieces.

    2
    Done

    I Have Found That the Easiest Way to Peel the Plantain Is to Cut Roughly 1/4" Off of Each End of the Plantain (the Very Tips), and Then Carefully, Without Cutting Into the Plantain Itself, Slicing the Skin Down One Side.

    3
    Done

    Once You Have Slit the Skin on One Side, You Can Gently Pry the Peel Off With Your Fingers.

    4
    Done

    Heat 1" of Vegetable Oil on Medium Heat Until Hot.

    5
    Done

    Fry Plantain Pieces on Both Sides For About 3 Minutes, or Until the Pieces Are Golden.

    6
    Done

    When They Are Golden, Remove from Pan and Place Onto a Plate Covered With a Paper Towel.

    7
    Done

    Flatten the Fried Plantain.

    8
    Done

    I Do This by Placing the Pieces One at a Time Between 2 Pieces of Waxed Paper, and Flattening With My Hands.

    9
    Done

    Be Careful not to Put Too Much Pressure, or the Plantain Will Stick to the Waxed Paper.

    10
    Done

    Just Gently Flatten Them Till They Are About 1/4" Thick.

    11
    Done

    Place in the Hot Oil Again and Fry Until Both Sides Are Golden Brown.

    12
    Done

    Drain on Paper Towel Covered Plate (be Sure to Change Paper Towels in Between the 2 Fryings) and Sprinkle With Salt.

    13
    Done

    Serve Immediately.

    14
    Done

    For an Extra Special Treat, Eat the Patacones With a Thin Slice of Queso Blanco (salty White Cheese) on Top.
