Tostones (Fried Plantain)

In this super-delicious dessert vanilla ice cream is coated with cinnamon-toast crumbs to keep it from melting while frying and to give it perfect full-flavored crispiness. And, then topped with melt-in-your-mouth chile-spiked chocolate sauce.

Although they are related to bananas, plantains are more like potatoes. They are often fried or baked in tropical cuisines, like this scrumptious recipe for tajadas. The savory-sweet plantain strips fry up golden brown with a crunchy outside and tender inside. Enjoy them with Latin-inspired dishes.

These melt-in-your-mouth apple fritters have a crispy crust and a luscious middle. Seared pink lady apples along with apple cider, cinnamon sugar and butter make the scrumtious filling. Serve dusted with cinnamon sugar with a scoop of bourbon ice cream alongside.

Fried potatoes are one of our favorite foods. When diced, fried golden brown, and seasoned with nothing but salt & pepper, they taste absolutely delicious! Serve as a side or a crunchy snack with your favorite sauce or dip.
