Tostones (Twice Fried Green Plantains) with Mayo-Ketchup Dipping Sauce Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Tostones (Twice Fried Green Plantains) with Mayo-Ketchup Dipping Sauce Recipe). I love plantains and I craved these all the time when I was pregnant. They are great as a side dish or appetizer. After you smash them, but before you fry them the second time, you can put them in a resealable plastic bag and freeze them for later. There's no need to defrost them but be careful when you drop them in the hot oil. You can adjust the mayonnaise to ketchup ratio to your liking and add more or less garlic.
