FRIED GREEN PLANTAINS
Tostones. In many Latin American countries, crunchy tostones are as popular (and served as often) as french fries are here. A single bite of their salty crust and tender interior will tell you why they're so beloved.

Steps:
- Cut ends from each plantain with a sharp small knife, then cut a lengthwise slit through peel. Cut plantains crosswise into 1-inch-thick pieces and, beginning at slit, pry off peel.
- Heat 1/2 inch oil in a deep 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until just hot enough to sizzle when a piece of plantain is added. Fry plantains in 2 batches, turning occasionally with tongs, until tender and just golden, 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Transfer plantains to paper towels to drain, reserving oil in skillet.
- Flatten each plantain to 1/4 inch thick with a tostone press or bottom of a heavy saucepan.
- Stir together warm water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Heat reserved oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Dip a flattened plantain in salted water and gently place, without patting dry, in hot oil. (Plantains will not spatter.) Repeat with several more pieces and fry plantains (without crowding) in 4 or 5 batches, turning occasionally, until golden, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer with tongs to clean paper towels to drain. Season with salt and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Cut the tips off the plantains. Score the plantains lengthwise on both sides and place in a bowl. Cover with boiling water. Let sit for 10 minutes. Peel, using a small sharp knife, and slice into 1/2inch slices.
- Heat the oil to rippling in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the plantains for 10 minutes. Remove the plantain slices from the oil (reserving the oil) and place in one layer on a tea towel or several layers of absorbent paper on a counter top. Turn to remove excess oil. Using bunchedup absorbent paper or another tea towel, press down on each slice. Heat the reserved oil to 375 degrees and fry the plantains until crisp and golden. Season with garlic powder and salt.

- Heat oil in a large skillet or dutch oven: You need just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan by about 1/2-inch. Heat it to 325 degrees F.
- Peel the plantains: Cut off the ends and score down the ridges of each plantain, then pry the skin off using your fingers or a spoon.
- Cut into 1-inch chunks and fry: You can slice on a diagonal or straight across. Then fry on each cut side for 3 to 5 minutes until the plantains turn golden yellow and soften slightly. Transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towel.
- Smash into discs and fry again: You can use the back of a wooden spoon, a flat-bottomed measuring cup, or a glass to press each plantain, smashing it into a disch between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch thick. Increase the heat of the oil slightly to 350 degrees F, then fry each smashed plantain again until crispy and lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes total, flipping partway through. Remove from the oil and transfer to a plate to keep warm.

- In a large heavy pot, add enough vegetable oil to cover the entire plantains and heat the oil over medium high heat.
- Add the plantains to the heated oil. Fry for about 10 to 15 minutes per side. Carefully remove the plantains with a slotted spoon, and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Let the plantains cool for 3 minutes. Then, place the plantains on a piece of plastic wrap and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. With a flat pot cover, press well the plantains, flattening them about to ¼” thickness.
- Dip each slice in salted water. Then using tongs add them back in the hot oil in a single layer (need to work in batches) and fry for an additional 3 minutes on each side. Be careful when you fry the soaked plantains, as droplets of water will cause the oil to splatter.

- Cut the ends off of each plantain, and use a knife to cut through the skin of the plantain, lengthwise, from top to bottom. Try to only to cut through the skin, as you don’t want to slice into the inner portion, which will form the tostones.
- Use your fingers to pry open and peel off the tough outer skin. Discard the skin of the plantains.
- Fill a large, heavy-bottomed skillet about a third of the way with oil. Heat over medium for a few minutes to warm up the oil just slightly.
