Peel the green plantains by using a pairing knife to score the skin vertically. Continue making scores about 1 inch apart. Now peel each strip of skin off. You can use the knife to remove any bits still stuck onto the plantain.
Now let's cut the plantain into 4 even pieces.
Prepare the deep fryer by adding enough oil that it reaches about 2 inches of the pot. Bring the oil temperature up to 350 degrees F.
Drop the plantains into the oil for about 7 mins.
Remove and let the excess oil drain in a strainer.
Once cool to the touch, we need to squish the plantains, use a tostonera (we recomend using a ziplock bag in between the plantain for easy removal).
Raise the oil temperature to 400 degrees F. Drop about 6 to 7 of the squished plantains for its final fry. Fry for about 1.5 minutes.
Once removed from the fryer, lightly season with salt.
Let the tostones cool and drain in a strainer.
Now add your favorite filling inside and enjoy!!
