Patacón is a popular Venezuelan dish made from fried plantains. The plantains are sliced, fried until they become crispy, then flattened with a kitchen utensil. The flattened plantains are then fried again until they become golden brown and crispy. Patacones can be served as a side dish or as a base for various toppings such as shredded meat, cheese, or guacamole. They are loved for their crunchy texture and versatility.
