  • heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. add the plantain slices and fry until they soften, 5 to 10 minutes. remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  • use a tostonera (a press) to slightly mash each piece until it is about 1/2 inch thick. if you do not have a tostonera, use a mallet or place the pieces between a folded paper bag and press down with a saucer. press all of the pieces before going the next step.
