This is an old picture, but the recipe never changes. Twice fried flatten plantains. The "french fries" of the latin cuisine.

Ingredients

2 dark green plantains
Oil for frying
Salt to taste

The hard part, for the inexperienced, is peeling these suckers. I suggest you youtube how to peel them. I use a knife. Cutting both ends, I thinly slice into the peel length-wise and then gently peel the shell from the meat.

Once that is complete, cut the plantain into 1 inch pieces at a 45 degree angle. This should give you about 7 to 8 pieces per plantain depending on the size of it. Heat the oil in the meantime. There should also be enough oil that it should reach half way up the plantains when placed.

Once the oil sizzles to a sprinkle of water, place as many plantains into the oil, working in batches if necessary. Turn over about 2 or 3 minutes in until both sides are a light golden brown.

To test to see if it's ready, take the largest piece out and flatten it (if you do not have a tostonera, a heavy flat pan or even mug). If the flattened plantain holds it shape and does not stick or fall apart, then the others are ready. Flatten all of them, setting them aside.

Once that is complete, put them back in the oil for about a minute on each side. Take out and put on a toweled surface and sprinkle salt or garlic powder onto them. Serve immediately as they will stale within 30 minutes.
