Patacones are made from sliced green bananas & deep fried!!!

First peel the green banana( I do them under water so my hands don't get so sticky with the sap). Cut each banana into about 5 or 6 sections & deep fry in hot oil. When a little brown(dorado) remove & drain. While the next batch is frying, squash the first ones, then re-fry them until crisp! Drain on paper towel & lightly dust with salt!!

These are a Panamanian favourite along with Hojaldres!!!
