PATACONES OR TOSTONES
Steps:
- Peel the plantains, the easiest way to peel a green plantain is to make the lengthwise cut on one of the angles, the cut should be skin deep without touching the actual flesh of the plantain, then use the knife to raise the skin and peel it off.
- Cut the plantains into thick slices, you can make straight cuts or slightly diagonal cuts.
- Heat the oil over medium high heat in a frying pan - use enough oil to almost cover the plantain slices - or a deep fryer, temperature should be about 350 F, fry the plantains until they start to get yellow, but not golden.
- Remove the plantains and place on paper towels to drain the oil.
- Use the bottom of a glass (or small bowl or a wood pestle) to smash and flatten the plantains, do this gently to keep the slices from breaking, a few cracks is ok as long as the whole slice remains in one piece. It is best to do this when they are still warm.
- Sprinkle the plantain slices with salt and other seasonings (if using the raw garlic rub it on the slices).
- Reheat the oil, temperature should be about 375 F and fry the plantains until golden on each side, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Remove from the oil, drain again on paper towels, and add additional seasoning if needed.
- Serve warm as a side dish or as an appetizer with dipping sauces.
- Peel the green plantains, cut in half and place in pot with sufficient water to cover them.
- Bring the water to a boil and boil for about 25-35 minutes or until tender.
- Remove from the heat but the leave the plantains in the water.
- Cut the plantains in thick slices and gently flatten - as much as possible without cracking - with a wood mortar and pestle or the bottom of a glass.
- Sprinkle the flattened plantain slices with salt and seasonings.
- Heat the oil in large frying pan over high heat and cook the plantains until golden, about 2 minutes on each side.
- Transfer to a paper towel to drain the oil.
- Add additional salt and seasonings if needed and serve warm with dipping sauces or as a side dish.
PATACONES (FRIED GREEN PLANTAINS)
Patacones or Tostones are made from green plantains peeled and cut cross-wise. Patacones are fried twice. Patacones are served in restaurants all over Colombia as a side dish for fish dishes or as an appetizer with guacamole, hogao (tomato and onion sauce) or ají (hot salsa).

Steps:
- Peel the plantains and cut cross-wise into 1/2" slices
- In a medium heavy pot, add enough vegetable oil to cover the plantain slices and heat the oil over medium high heat.
- Add the plantain slices to the heated oil in a single layer. Fry for about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Carefully remove the plantains with a slotted spoon, and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Let the patacones cool for 3 minutes. Then, place the plantains on a piece of plastic wrap and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. With a flat pot cover, press well on the pieces of plantain, flattening them to ¼" thickness.
- Dip each slice in salted water. Then using tongs add them back in the hot oil in a single layer (you may need to work in batches) and fry for an additional 3 minutes on each side. Be careful when you fry the soaked plantains, as droplets of water will cause the oil to splatter.
- Remove the patacones with slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb oil, sprinkle with salt, to taste, transfer to a serving plate and serve hot with guacamole, tomato sauce or salsa.

Steps:
- You need just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan by about 1/2-inch. Heat it to 325 degrees F.
- Cut off the ends and score down the ridges of each plantain, then pry the skin off using your fingers or a spoon.
- You can slice on a diagonal or straight across. Then fry on each cut side for 3 to 5 minutes until the plantains turn golden yellow and soften slightly. Transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towel.
- You can use the back of a wooden spoon, a flat-bottomed measuring cup, or a glass to press each plantain, smashing it into a disc between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch thick. Increase the heat of the oil slightly to 350 degrees F, then fry each smashed plantain again until crispy and lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes total, flipping partway through. Remove from the oil and transfer to a plate to keep warm.
- You can keep cooked tostones warm in an oven set to a low temperature of between 200 and 250 degrees F.
