Directions:

  1. Wash bananas, leaving peels on.
  2. Place bananas in a large pot filled with water.
  3. Boil bananas until soft (peels will open just like whole potatoes) about 15-20.
  4. Pour out water and let bananas cool.
  5. Peel bananas and mash them with 1 egg.
  6. If mixture looks too runny, add bread crumbs.
  7. Form 1/2 inch patties (adding chunks of queso fresco in the middle if desired).
  8. Put oil in a frying pan, using enough to cover the bottom.
  9. Fry banana patties in the oil-approx 5-8 minutes each side, depending on how crispy you want them.
  10. Serve topped with sour cream and white rice or even with a side of refried beans.
