Fried plantains. 'Tostones'

I make mine in an air fryer and season with Dan-Os or Ms Dash.

What seasonings do you use the most?

Trump has all that Goya money for his Oval Office TV advertisement supporting the brand.

fuck Goya, but those are great, just source it elsewhere.

Unless I make my own from fresh plantains, which I eventually will. Goya is the only brand I can find near me. Unfortunately. But I am stoked to make homemade tostones.

I get it, I hope you enjoy them either way, just being an internet ass and telling you (who didnt ask) that goya sucks.

In Panama we fry them in oil and call them patacones, they're outstanding with just some salt

I don't even know what "plantains" is. There is a picture of green bananas on the box.

They're a high starch part of the banana family, but taste more like slighty sweet potatoes in my opinion. They're good fried or roasted.

Good thing unlimited knowledge is only a single internet search away

I forgot to turn off my sarcasm filter today. Sorry for the inconvenience, lol.

I need a fact check. Anyone who knows Spanish well enough, is this why they are called tostones.

Tostones etymology AI

To fry in Spanish AI

(The irony of the other comment about internet searches, I am too busy)

I think it’s basically “toasties”.

Makes more sense as toasties.
