oil for frying
garlic powder
salt
Directions:
- Slice the peeled plantains diagonally into 1" slices.
- Fry the slices over medium heat until they soften.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
- Using a tostonera (a press), slightly mash each piece to about half an inch in thickness.
- If a tostonera is not available insert the pieces between a folded piece of brown-paper bag/sack and press down using a saucer.
- It is best to press all the pieces first before going on the next step.
- Dip each piece in warm salted water and fry again until crispy.
- Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Salt them.
- Tostones may be served with ketchup (kid's favorite) or with garlic sauce.
