Explanation:

Patacones are a type of food that is very common in Latin America, and they are made into sort of chips from a fruit that is called a plantain (plátano). Although plantain may look a lot like a banana, they are not from the same family, and while bananas are sweet and soft in texture, plantains are not sweet at all, and their texture is hard.

When a plantain piece is taken and smashed flat it takes the form of a chip, and when fried and spiced with salt, it takes a crunchy and salty taste. This is what we know as patacones.
