I LOVE TOSTONES! My son used to always ask me what my favorite food is and it was always the same answer: tostones!

Ingredients and spices that need to be Get to make The Best Tostones:

- 5 cups cold water
- 6-8 cloves peeled
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil

Steps to make The Best Tostones
- Peel garlic and smash with the edge of the knife once or twice.
- In a large bowl, combine water, salt and smashed garlic. Mix gently with your hand or a spoon until salt is dissolved.
- Peel plantains and cut into 1 inch rounds and add to bowl with water mixture. Let it soak for about 30 minutes.
- Remove plantains and dry well with paper towel. DO NOT DISCARD WATER MIXTURE: Set aside.
- Heat oil in a medium to heavy gauge pan, on medium high heat, until oil ripples.
- Put plantains in and cook for 4 minutes on each side.
- Take out plantains and drain on paper towels. Do not discard oil.
- Use paper bag for mashing plantains. If you have a plantain masher, you can use that. Some people use paper towel. I was taught growing up to use a paper bag and it has never let me down.
- While still hot, place plantain on paper bag, fold over and push down with the palm of your hand. Then use a fork to slide under mashed plantain and set aside.
- Place mashed plantains back into water, 3 at a time, for about 10 seconds. Remove and put in a colander to drain. Once you have done a quick soak with all the plantains and they are all in the colander, gently pour 1/4 the water mixture over the plantains. Carefully move plantains on the bottom of colander to the top and gently pour 1/4 of the liquid. You can now discard water mixture.
- Heat up oil again on medium high heat.
- Gently shake as much water out from the colander as possible. Then gently pat dry the plantains with paper towel.
- Carefully place plantains into hot oil. Do not over crowd the pan. Add a few pieces at a time and cook for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side. It should be a nice golden color on each side when its done.
- Transfer to paper towel to drain. Serve right away. Enjoy it with mayo-ketchup, mojito, hot sauce or just on it's own (my personal favorite). Buen Provecho!
