Crispy Puerto Rican Tostones
Ingredients
  • 1 green plantain
  • 5 tablespoons oil for frying
  • 3 cups cold water
  • salt to taste
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components for the recipe.
2
Remove the outer layer of plantains and divide them into 1-inch thick pieces.
3
Submerge a large, deep skillet in hot oil over medium-high heat; carefully place the plantain slices into an even layer and cook on both sides until they turn golden brown, approximately 3 1/2 minutes per side. Set the skillet aside for now.
4
Transfer the cooked plantain slices to a flat surface; use a small, flat object to press down on each slice and flatten it slightly.
5
Dip the flattened plantain slices into a bowl of cold water.
6
Reheat the oil in the skillet over medium heat; cook the plantain slices for 1 minute on each side.
7
Add a pinch of salt to taste and present the dish immediately.
