PATACONES (FRIED PLANTAIN)



Patacones (fried Plantain) image

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.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 16 Patacones

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 green plantains (do not use yellow, or yellowish green. It vastly changes the taste)
vegetable oil
salt

Steps:

  • Peel Plantain, and cut it width wise into 3 or 4 pieces.
  • 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.
  • Once you have slit the skin on one side, you can gently pry the peel off with your fingers.
  • Heat 1" of vegetable oil on medium heat until hot.
  • Fry plantain pieces on both sides for about 3 minutes, or until the pieces are golden.
  • When they are golden, remove from pan and place onto a plate covered with a paper towel.
  • Flatten the fried plantain.
  • I do this by placing the pieces one at a time between 2 pieces of waxed paper, and flattening with my hands.
  • Be careful not to put too much pressure, or the plantain will stick to the waxed paper.
  • Just gently flatten them till they are about 1/4" thick.
  • Place in the hot oil again and fry until both sides are golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towel covered plate (be sure to change paper towels in between the 2 fryings) and sprinkle with salt.
  • Serve immediately.
  • For an extra special treat, eat the patacones with a thin slice of queso blanco (salty white cheese) on top.

PATACONES TICOS (COSTA RICAN FRIED PLANTAINS)



Patacones Ticos (Costa Rican Fried Plantains) image

These are a delicious snack I enjoyed while spending a semester in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. One of my profesores there taught me to make these. They go really well with frijoles molidos (refried beans, basically). Plantains can be purchased at most grocery store in the produce section...they look like bananas, but DO NOT try to eat them like bananas - they are NOT the same thing! Get the nice and green ones for this purpose. --Times are approximate--

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 22m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 green plantains
1 cup vegetable oil
1 pinch salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Peel plantains completely.
  • Slice Plantains into 1/2 inch rounds.
  • Heat oil in sauce pan until almost boiling.
  • CAREFULLY place a handful of plantain rounds into hot oil, leaving them in until light brown, about 2 minutes.
  • CAREFULLY remove plantain rounds from hot oil with slotted spoon (preferably metal) and place on a cutting board covered in parchment paper.
  • Plantain pieces should be on only half of the parchment paper. Fold second half of parchment paper over them, and with a second board or other hard, flat surface press firmly on the paper-covered plantain rounds.
  • The rounds should now be smushed-looking, yet still intact.
  • *This can also be done using a metal tortilla press, if available. What I use is like a tortilla press, but is specifically designed for patacones, and I bought it at a supermarket in Costa Rica.
  • With slotted spoon, replace pieces of plantain in the oil until golden brown.
  • Remove pieces with slotted spoon and place on paper towel. Pieces should be slightly crispy.
  • Repeat with another handful of rounds, until all have been cooked.
  • Sprinkle with salt, to taste.
  • Dip in warm refried beans, or also good with ceviche.
