Patacón is a popular Venezuelan street food made from fried plantains. The plantains are sliced, fried until crispy, and then flattened with a press or a heavy object. The flattened plantains are then fried again until golden brown and crispy. Patacones are often served as a side dish or as a base for various toppings, such as shredded meat, cheese, or guacamole. They are a delicious and crunchy snack.
