In some countries they are known as tostones, but in the northern region of Peru, where plantains are abundant and an important part of the daily diet, these tasty fritters are called patacones. They are usually eaten as an accompaniment for meat and fish dishes, instead of bread, French fries, or rice.
Cuisine history
Peruvian cuisine reflects local practices and ingredients including influences mainly from the indigenous population, including the Inca, and cuisines brought by immigrants from Europe (Spanish cuisine, Italian cuisine); Asia (Japanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine); and Africa (Maghrebi cuisine and West African cuisine). Without the familiar ingredients from their home countries, immigrants modified their traditional cuisines by using ingredients available in Peru.
