Patacón is a savory Venezuelan dish made from fried plantains. The plantains are sliced, fried until crispy, and then flattened with a press or the bottom of a heavy object. The flattened plantains are then fried again until they become golden and crispy. Patacón can be served as a side dish or as a base for various toppings such as shredded meat, cheese, or guacamole. It is a popular street food in Venezuela and is loved for its crunchy texture and delicious flavor.
