Tostones (Fried Plantains)
Crispy twice-fried slices of plantains, seasoned to perfection.
Ingredients
- vegetable oil (2 cups)
- plantains (3 )
- salt (0 )
- garlic powder (0 )
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Place a few plantain slices in the oil, and cook until lightly golden in color, about three minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining slices.
- While the plantain slices are still warm, place them one at a time between two sheets of wax paper, and flatten by hand to 1/4 inch thick. Return flattened slices to the skillet, and continue frying until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, and season with salt and garlic powder.
