Put the pieces between the plantain peels. That way, you can use the palm of your hand to smash them.

Hermano, you are made for this type of instruction medium! Always enjoy your recipes and your friendly and thorough instructions. Never saw anyone use a cup bottom like that, but now I know in case I don't have a tostonera. Have a blessed year.

Love the 5 second rule mentality LOL totally how i'd do it too. Will be making this soon!

Thanks for the video, first attempt making them, since I left my grandmother’s house

I use the bottom of a 2-cup pyrex measuring cup to smash them. They slide right off. We also have a dipping sauce for them: Add a couple of tablespoons of oil to the Mojo marinade you buy at the store. Mix well. Yum.

I found this so late hope all is good, gotta thank you bro killing it with the tips definitely checking more thank you!!!

In my humble opinion there is no need for soaking in salt water as that step is for making masa for pasteles and alcapurrias. I just peel cut and try remove smash fry until crispy then add salt and maybe some garlic. Save some time and the extra step. Looks yummy. Try it for lunch with topped picadillo.

Need some fried eggs. Love it. 👍🙏👍✌️❤️😎🌞
