    I took the recipe, minus the garlic bath, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. The recipe is easy and delicious. I will be making this again!!

    Is soaking the plantain in salted water after 1st fry new? Well, I have been making these since a little girl & its not that dramatic that its very dangerous to soak plantains. We Puertorricans usually soak them in water with ADOBO, salt, or garlic before 1st fry and then we season them again! YUMMYY!!! This was a good try!

    Being married to a Latino I've made these several times. While the recipe is basically the same, we do not dip into salted water after the first fry. I tried this method and they came out "mushy".
    An alternative to this method is to soak them before cooking in salted water with crushed garlic. The longer you soak the more flavor is absorbed into the plaintain. Then you can fry them as directed in this recipe, just don't "re-dip" them after the first fry.

    I went to Grenada for a trip and made this. The natives thought I was NUTS!

    When I presented them with the finished product, they were stunned.

    Great recipe. (Works with other banana like fruits, such as rock figs.

    This is a wonderful side dish recipe. While the main dish is cooking this one gets the attention. I tasted the hint of garlic and loved it, but it was very subtle and can be skipped.

    These are adicting and hard to stop from eating. As another said, they almost didn't make it to the table. The only thing is, I think that squishing them and soaking them did nothing but make them fall apart and make the process more difficult. I might just cut them up like french fries next time and eliminate the squishing and soaking.

    Make this dish right now and serve it up with some ketchup (even though you won't need it, but I do enjoy ketchup.

    Very tasty. I've had them fixed several different ways, but I do believe this is the new favorite.
