Photo: Tostones Recipe
Ingredients
- Oil, for frying
- 3 plantains
- Salt
Directions
Special equipment: "Old Fashioned Plantain Smasher"
Preheat oil to 350 degrees F.
Cut plantains down the middle; peel away skin and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
Add plantains to the hot oil and fry until golden; about 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook as you want the center to still be raw. Lightly salt.
*Cook's Note: Check the doneness with a toothpick. The middle of the plantain should still feel starchy and cool.
Put the fried plantain through the old fashioned smasher. This will make it a cup shape.
Place the "the plantain cup" into the deep-fryer and fry again until golden brown and fully firm, about 2 to 3 minutes Drain on a paper towel lined sheet tray. Season with salt.

THE BEST PLACE TO PURCHASE THE THING THAT MAKES STUFFED TOSTONES IS ONLY AT WWW.RIVERASTOSTONERA.COM. RIVERA'S TOSTONERA MAKES PLANTAINS IN CUPS, CHIPS, AND SLICES. THEY HAVE DIFFERENT COLORS, SIZES, SHAPES, PLASTIC, WOOD, AND ITS ALL 100% FDA APPROVED. THEY CAN EVEN CUSTOMIZE ONE FOR YOU WITH YOUR NAME AND ITS UNDER WARRANTY! NO OTHER PRODUCT CAN COMPARE. I RECOMMEND THE ONE AND ONLY RIVERA'S TOSTONERA!

I have tasted these stuffed tostones which are delicious but never have maded them. My and I husband watched the show and he loved the recipe so I purchased the tosonera stuffer at elColmadito.com just $4.99.
