With a sharp knife cut off both end of your plantain. Then score the side from one tip to the other.

Heat frying pan on medium heat

Place in microwave for four minutes. You will know it’s ready when brown

Once pan is hot enough add oil just enough to cover half the plantain when placed inside

Carefully remove peel. Should come off easy but use caution it is hot. Then slice in one inch chunks

Using either a tostonera or a mug/glass or and plate smush all the chunks of plantain so they are place. Little less then a cm in thickness.

By now the oil should be hot enough and carefully place all the slices of plantains into the pan. Don’t overfill they shouldn’t touch or will become stuck together.

A minute or so on each side until golden brown. Once out and on paper towel lined plate immediately pinch of salt ontop so it will stick

Let cool a little and serve with sauce, classic choice being mayo ketchup mix equal parts.
