👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Start by cutting the ends of your plantains and make a vertical line going down the plantain deep enough to go thru the skin. Peel your plantain. Any pieces of skin left you may remove with a knife. Cut each plantain into 4 pieces.
2. 2In a medium pot add your oil over medium heat. Fry for 3 minutes on each side and remove from oil. Wait about 1 minute for pieces to cool off before handling.
3. 3Take a piece of plastic wrap and put it over your tostonera or lemon squeezer. Take 2 fried plantain pieces, place them over your plastic film, and squeeze them.
4. 4Now set your frying oil to medium-high heat. Fry for about 1 minute on each side. Serve right away and enjoy.
