Learn how to make the most perfect and crispy tostones. Great for dipping or as a side dish to your favorite Latin dish!

Ingredients

• 2 green plantains
• salt and pepper, to taste
• oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Cut off both ends of the plantain. With a knife, follow the plantain's lines and cut through the skin lengthwise (Don't cut down too deep, or you will risk cutting the plantain). With the knife, pry open and remove the skin (watch the video below for a visual). Cut the plantain into 5 or 6 pieces.
2. Add oil to a skillet filling it almost halfway. Bring the oil to 300 degrees F over medium heat. Fry the plantain pieces for about 5 minutes. Remove them for the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate.
3. Bring the oil up to 375 degrees F.
4. Place each plantain piece between two parchment papers, and with the bottom of a plate or cup, gently smash it. Fry again in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes on each side. 
5. Remove from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
6. Season  immediately with salt and pepper and ENJOY!
