Yum! These were delicious sprinkled with kosher salt, garlic powder and paprika. Made a good sauce of ketchup/mayo/lime juice to dip, muy delicioso!

LOVE these. My boyfriend taught me to make them. We use a shot glass to flatten/smash them. When they are done we sprinkle with salt, and serve with minced garlic mixed with a little olive oil. YUM!

i had 2 long plantains & for i used probably 1/3 cup of veg oil altogether. my intention was not to "fry" them per se. so im aware of the difference in taste & texture! however, my pan sautee worked out great! i just covered the pan in veg oil & followed the rest of the instructions! delish!

My husband was very curious about the plantains, but did not care for them. While I personally did not love them, I thought I would give the recipe 5 stars as it was super easy to follow, and the end result was perfect.

I first had tostones in New York out of a food car and I LOVE these things!!! They are so good. We aways eat ours with ketchup, kind of like fries. Dfinitely something for everyone to try. Remember when making these to use the GREEN (unripe) plantains.

I made these for the 1st time and LOVED them!! I made exactly as stated except I didn't have any garlic powder so I added some fresh garlic to the oil as it heated. I served them with warm chocolate syrup as a dessert and they were fantastic!!!
