Ingredients
- 2 green plantains
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Salt
Directions
Heat the oil to 360 degrees F.
While the oil is heating up, cut the green plantains into 1-inch thick slices and then peel them. Fry the slices in the hot oil for 3 minutes. They should be a light golden color and semi-soft.
Remove the plantain slices with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
When the plantain slices are cool enough to handle (about 1 minute), between paper towels, smash them into flat rounds using the bottom of a glass. Fry the rounds in the hot oil for another 3 minutes. They will turn crisp and golden brown.
Remove the tostones with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Salt them as soon as they come out of the oil.
