Patacones

Patacones, also known as tostones, are a beloved snack in Ecuador and across Latin America, made from green plantains. Traditionally enjoyed as a side dish or appetizer, they are often served with dips or topped with various ingredients. Their crispy texture and savory flavor have made them a popular choice in many modern cuisines, with variations found in Caribbean and Central American dishes.
