- (Stirring will help break down the potatoes).
- Continue cooking for about 30-45 minutes until potatoes are mostly mashed and mixture is starting to get thick.

Directions:
- Heat frying oil to 375 degrees
- While the oil is heating up, peel the green plantains by cutting the ends off with a knife and then making slits down the skin to allow easier peeling
- Cut the peeled plantains into 3/4 inch slices
- Once the oil has reached 375 degrees, fry the slices for 3 minutes.
- They should be a light golden color and semi-soft.
- Remove the plantain slices with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- When the plantain slices are cool enough to handle (about 1 minute), smash them into flat rounds.
- I use two small plates.
- Spray some oil or non stick product on the bottom of the plates to keep the plantains from sticking
- Make sure that your oil is back to 375 degrees, then fry the rounds in the hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes.
- They will turn crisp and golden brown.
- Remove the tostones with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Salt to taste.
