👨🍳 Instructions
- Peel the green plantains and slice them into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick rounds.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 170°C (340°F); fry the plantain slices for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden and slightly softened.
- Remove the plantains from the oil and, using a tostonera or the bottom of a glass, flatten each piece into a disk about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick.
- Increase the oil temperature slightly to 180°C (350°F) and fry the flattened tostones again for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and very crispy.
- Remove the tostones from the oil, drain excess oil on paper towels, season immediately with salt, and serve hot.
