    I was born and rise in Puerto Rico, were Tostones are so very common. Those in the pic are burn unfortunatelly. For very delicious Tostones, the end result have to be yellow-golden and crispy,not burnish-gold. They are perfect with garlic sauces or mayo-ketchup.

    I have had great tostones before and I had high hopes for my first time making them.

    They had great flavor, but they did not "puff up" like I expected them to.
    Does anyone know the trick to getting them to puff up during the second fry?

    Green plantains knock -off the ends, score three times. Paper towel on the bottom and microwave 5-6 minutes. Then peel, cut in 8 equal parts, smash and fry till golden, drain and season to taste.. Haven't fried them twice in a very long time...

    If you use yellow plantain they are NOT tostones.

    Like I said before, this brings me memories when I was growing up in Puerto Rico.
