These crispy Patacones (also known as Tostones) feature twice-fried green plantains that are smashed into golden discs with a perfectly crunchy exterior and tender interior. Served with creamy guacamole and a bright tomato-onion salad, this traditional Caribbean dish makes a delicious appetizer, side dish, or snack. The neutral, starchy flavor of the plantains provides the perfect canvas for the vibrant, fresh toppings. Easy to prepare yet impressive to serve, these patacones deliver authentic Latin American flavor with simple ingredients and straightforward preparation.
