Platanos fritos are a traditional dish from El Salvador, made from green plantains. They are sliced, then fried until they become crispy and golden brown. Platanos fritos are often served as a side dish or snack, and are often accompanied by dips such as curtido (pickled cabbage and onion) or salsa. They have a starchy, slightly sweet flavor and a crispy exterior that contrasts with the soft interior. Platanos fritos are a staple food in El Salvador and are enjoyed by people of all ages.
