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 place the pieces between a folded piece of paper bag 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 and drain on paper towels. Salt them. Tostones may be served with ketchup (kid's favorite) or with garlic sauce.
