I’ve made these twice and thoroughly enjoyed it. I watched a TV show that highlighted this patacone and glad I found your site. I’ve changed the fillings to suit what I had in my kitchen- did it once with pork and a second time with beef. Used siracha instead of ketchup. Thanks!

This sounds wonderful. My husband is Puerto Rican, so we fry plantains to make tostones, but it’s obviously the same thing, just smaller and with no toppings. We’re definitely going to try this!

Actually, I have had fried plantains before, but not done with this method. They are more like chips, or the other way I’ve had them (or bananas, not sure which) is breaded and fried, which I get on our favorite cruise ship when I get the Indonesian Fried Rice. They are okay. In this case it’s the toppings that leave me less than enthusiastic. Even though I love avocados, neither of us likes guacamole, and I’m tired of tomatoes in [seemingly] everything. The idea of theses intriguing if I could come up with other toppings.

In reply to Susan. Have you never had a fried plantain before? Oh man you're missing out if not! As for the toppings, I don't think it's anything particularly unusual. Just imagine a tostada except it's a fried plantain and then all the toppings!

I’m usually adventurous with food, but I’d have to taste this before deciding to make it – and that’s even though I trust your taste in food. Maybe I’m not familiar enough with South American food?
