Tostones (Twice-Fried Green Plantains) with Mayo Ketchup Dipping Sauce
Description
These tostones with dipping sauce feature crispy, twice-fried smashed plantain chunks and a simple, chilled dip of mayonnaise, ketchup, and garlic.
Ingredients
•
1/2 cup mayonnaise
•
1/2 cup ketchup
•
1 large clove garlic, pressed
•
3 cups canola oil for frying
•
2 green plantains, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
•
1 pinch garlic salt
Directions
1
Combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and garlic in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving.
2
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry plantains in hot oil until golden but not browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow plantains to cool slightly.
3
Smash each plantain in a tostonero or with the bottom of a clean can. Fry flattened plantains again in hot oil until golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes more. Season with garlic salt and serve with sauce.
