This is not a french fry, so ketchup and mayo are highly discouraged. Besides, doesn't fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro and avocado sound so much better?!

My father's family is Puertorican and these were a staple at my house growing up. We always have a tomato sauce with them. It has a dash of garlic, salt, and pepper. I am so hungry for them now! I also think I will have to try my hand at alcalpurrias-haven't had them in a long time. They are my favorite! I love tostones!

You only have to dip them in salted water before frying, it help to make them crispier. You don’t have to soak them before frying the first time.

I was told to soak them prior to frying the first time. Just wondering what is the reasoning? What is the reason you soak the plantains in water.

I then soak them in garlic salt water and fry, they are very crunchy when done like that. you can dip them in garlic salt water then freeze and take them out as you need them.

My picky 5yo happens to love tostones, the rest of us prefer amarillos (fried in butter, then seasoned with garlic salt). I'll have to try making them this way, I hate frying but maybe it's time I make tostones again ;-) Thanks for the reminder! Oh, there's a version of the mayo-ketchup sauce called Salsa Golf that I found in Elisabeth Lambert-Ortiz's "Book of Latin American Cooking" that is seriously wicked good, you should definitely try it. those look goooood!

Thanks for the tip! When I cooked them they were dry and didn't know what I did wrong. Now I know how to make moist tostones. Thanks for the tip!
