Traditional Tostones
A Taste of Puerto Rico

2 green plantains, peeled and cut in 1/2 inch diagonal slices
1-2 cups oil

In a deep heavy skillet, heat the oil until it is very hot but not smoking.  Drop in the plantain slices and brown.  Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs, but maintain the oil temperature. Using a glass or something with a flat surface, flatten the plantain slice to 1/4 inch thick.  Refry until golden brown.  Remove and drain on paper towels.  Salt lightly and enjoy.
