'This recipe is inspired by the crunchiness of patacones, a snack that I was introduced to during grad school in Costa Rica and widely enjoyed across Central and Latin America.'
In a medium bowl, mix together the grated potatoes, onion, and plantains. Add a bit of salt and let sit for a couple minutes. Transfer the mixture to a cheesecloth or dish towel and wring out as much liquid as possible.In a medium skillet, pour enough oil into a pan to come 1/4-inch or 0.6cm up the sides. Heat over medium until 350°F or 180°C. Once it’s hot, scoop up a quarter cup’s worth of the mixture with your hands and pack it together tightly, until a thin disc forms.
Transfer cooked latke-patacones to a wire rack or plate covered with paper towels to remove excess oil. Hit them with some salt while they’re still hot. Serve with refried black beans and a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce, or with applesauce and sour cream.

Rum Ball Cookies Recipe on Food52Rum balls remind me of a boozy chocolate baklava sans the pastry. One or two are probably enough, but I’ve been known to go through a whole handful in one sitting during the holidays. I prefer the texture of the vanilla/Nilla wafers to be as smooth as possible, with any crunch arising solely from the nuts. Don’t forget to mix the rum and honey together separately or else the honey won’t dissolve and the mixture might get unevenly sweet. I also like to add a little bit of cornstarch to the confectioners' sugar to reduce stickiness; this will vary with the humidity levels. Save those little bags of silica gel beads that show up in your dried food goods and reuse them when storing the rum balls.
