Fried Plantains

Cultural Context

Fried plantains, known as 'tostones' when twice-fried, are a beloved staple in Puerto Rican cuisine and throughout Latin America. Traditionally enjoyed as a snack or side dish, they highlight the plantain's versatility and rich flavor. Their crispy exterior and soft interior make them a delightful contrast, often served with dips or sauces. Today, fried plantains are celebrated worldwide, appearing in various forms and adaptations, showcasing their universal appeal.
