Authentic home cooking from Ecuador, with US measurements. 
Patacones with Cheese 🇪🇨
Patacones are basically green plantains that are fried in two stages. They are known by different names in various countries, but in Ecuador, they are called patacones because they resemble the coins from colonial times that had this name, derived from Arabic. Patacones can be served as an appetizer or as a side dish for more elaborate meals. Personally, I really enjoy them for breakfast.
