- Crispy, savory, salty, these homemade Tostones come together in just a few simple steps! These twice-fried plantains only require a handful of ingredients and make for the perfect golden crispy appetizer, side dish, or snack. A classic Latin staple, these come out delicious every time with this easy-to-follow recipe. These are great on their own or with basically anything. I LOVE them with a fresh garlicy mojo, which I'll show you how to whip up.
RECIPE: preppykitchen....
I'm so excited to share this recipe with you, tostones and their counterparts maduros are beyond easy to make and soooo very delicious. My godfather was Venezuelan and we were lucky enough to have many amazing Cuban and Caribean restaurants in Los Angeles so I've been munching away on these delicious plantain chips for quite a while. I hope everyone grabs some plantains and tries these out.

So, usually maduros don't get soaked and they're cut diagonally. A really good trick for the tostones is on the second fry, dip them quickly on the salted water for even crispier edges. Plantains are life! 🇵🇷😂 Thanks for shining life on them!
Thank you!
Yes! You can also add some garlic to the water. 🇵🇷🥰
@@PreppyKitchen Add Garlic to the water.
You can also add Adobo to the water. Mix it around. Smash the plantain. Dip the tostones and fry them again.
Shoutout to Cuba
As a Dominican (Dominican Republic country in the Caribbean) I am honored to see tostones made by you. Now, if I may, when we make the tostones we just peel the green skin off and run our knife through the plantains to take any part of the skin that might make it black or black spots, cut them as you did and fry them in es them we have a special tool made out of two flat pieces of metal connected in one end and in the opposite end a handle to sandwich sort of speak together a "toston" and make it as flat as you which and lastly you fry it again. The thinner (like the ones you made) the crunchier. I'll be happy to send you a tostones masher. Also you can make tostones "baskets" with a type of lime press and fill it with a garlicky shrimp and avocado mix that is to die for.
African (Cameroonian 🇨🇲) too.
How about a recipe for that garlic shrimp and avocado mix. Sounds wonderful.
sounds delicious!
Do not use canola oil or vegetable oil
The most toxic and inflammatory processed American oils in the world.
I made maduros for the first time a couple weeks ago. I've only ever ordered them. I felt drunk with power eating the whole batch myself. SO GOOD. SO GREASY. SO SWEET.
So Good, so amazing. It's a must try recipe for EVERYONE at home!
@@darkheartt302 that’s extremely rude to ask! He’s too classy to put his bedroom life out there. As it is pride month, it doesn’t mean you should lose class.
@@reirei7851 I've reported this guy twice. RUclips doesn't care. It's so gross.
@@katekramer7679 good. So did I. John doesn’t need to be asked that for any reason! Gay/straight/etc…that’s rude.
@@darkheartt302 because that’s a very personal question. If you don’t know that it’s rude, then you got issues and need to learn how to interact with people. Show some class. In my mind I wonder about some crazy shit, but I wouldn’t dare go around asking people all my thoughts/questions.
These tostones are mouth-watering 🤤. I'm so trying these 😋
If you like Tostones, then, you WILL LOVE "Mofongo". Which are Tostones smashed with bits of fried pork meat. DELICIOUS 😋😋.
Tostones taken to ANOTHER LEVEL. 😋😋
Um that does sound delicious.... 😍
@@PreppyKitchen or Mangú, uffffffffff
Mangú, smashed plantines, i use 80% Green and 20% ripe , boiled first and then smashed with Frozen milk and butter. Then you put an encebollado on top withbeither fried eggs or queso de freir
You have to try a puertorican dish called Mofongo. It's mashed green plantain (fried) with garlic & pork cracklings (chicharrones) . We have it at almost every restaurant in PR. 🇵🇷🤤
I love Mofongo and there is so many ways to make it and accompany it with.
My Cuban mother made both kinds all the time, but did not soak them. She'd cut the ripe ones (maduros) on a diagonal bias about 1/2 inch thick and just fry them. No smashing. The tostones she made much in the same way as you do. She would also take the green plantains, peel them, then slice them across the diameter on a mandolin, to make paper thin coin size chips. Fry them 2-3 minutes and they're ready. Drain and salt them when done, and to me, they are better than potato chips. They are also stay sturdy enough to stand up to most any dip. Being fast and easy to make as chips, keeps that green plantain crispy/crunchy, salty, and fried crave easy to satisfy.
En Puerto Rico los q son cortados en mandolina le llamamos platanutres.
Another great sauce for tostones is mayo-ketchup. Yes, it is a mayo and ketchup mix, but you also add smashed garlic, cilantro, and a bit of salt. Believe me, it will be great. Here in Puerto Rico we enjoy both mojo and mayo-ketchup.
Salsa rosada
I am glad you are incorporating Latino food in your channel.
I am from Panama and we called the green ones Patacones and the ripe one Tajadas maduras which are sliced.
One way I like to prepare the patacones after taking them out of the water is adding mince garlic and let them set for a minute or two then fry them. They’re taste much better. Yum 🤤
Tostones una delicia de la cocina puertorriqueña 🇵🇷
También es común en Ecuador 🇪🇨, son una delicia los patacones (Así lo decimos aquí)
@@pablojosemoralesidrovo9636 en Costa Rica también les decimos patacones. Son una delicia
@@ToutCQJM Si, es verdad, lo son
i didnt know that seeing someone baking would be this satisfactory and relaxing
Would LOVE a rice and bean video!!! Have struggled to make authentic yummy rice and beans at home 🤤
Plátano maduro is for fried plantains; cut diagonally and fried only once. Tostones have to be green. Both SO mouthwatering deliciously good! Gifts from above 🙌🏼🇻🇪

Watching with my Cuban mom who is an amazing cook and she approves of your method. :-) She doesn't always do the water/lime/salt soak. And she also said the garlic mojo dip is not traditionally Cuban, but she's not offended. haha Also, she makes them a little thicker so you can still taste the creaminess of the plantain.
I am Cuban too. I don't soak tostones with salty water either, but I am going to try that❤
It's very interesting. I have never seen or tried any of this. 😁
Yes, we 🇵🇷 soak our plantains. There are many variations to the mojo sauce. Some add an orange and lime juice combination with garlic and olive oil. Whatever your variation is, I’m sure it’s delicious! 🤤 yes 👍🏼 to plantains.
I'm Cuban too and yes we don't soak in salt water, but I'll try that. My mom never used a tostonera for smooshing them flat, just a paper bag.
As a Puerto Rican who makes plantains you might want to try to use more oil to deep fry the plantain chunks rather than use so little oil. Do not let them get brown or they will taste burned and bitter. You are better off frying at a lower heat. I say this because I notice from your videos, you are a perfectionist.
Mojo blew my mind when I made it for the first time. I haven't tried it with cilantro yet, but fresh garlic, salt, lime, and oil mashed together opened another flavor door for me. Of course amazing for tostones, but I'd dip almost anything in there, and probably use it for marinades 😍
So true when I nearly finished off my batch of tostones and mojo by myself lol. Definitely make a lot
Oh my gosh. This brings back memories of my childhood in Puerto Rico. Mom made these all the time. She used paper bags to set them on to drain. Covered them with another paper bag and used her hand to flatten them. Salted generously. Delicious!
¡Perfectos! The trick of soaking them first in salty water looks brilliant! Fish with tostones are truly a national institution here in Venezuela. They say there are no more contrasting flavors in nature than plantain and fish and we really love the combination of both :)
So good!
Tostones y pescado frito al lado de la playa 🤤

🥰 the best chef on the tube….👏👏
In a region of panama . We use maduros (overly ripe plantain) to make a kind of jam, you cooked them with a bit of water, stick cinnamon, sugar and a bit of butter. And with that jam you make sweet empanadas. Baked. Omg sweetest thing. It's called plantain tart 😋 .
Loved your recipe . Thanks !
Plantains are very popular and common in South India too! We make curries, stir fries and delicious binge worthy chips. I'm so excited to try this different version from the other side of the world. ♥️
In Jamaica green plantian is one of our best dish 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 # Jamaican. But we prepare it differently. Big up yu self preppy kitchen
I helped my Cuban friend make these as hors d'oeuvres for a dinner party. We could not fry them fast enough. We were all little piggies with our snouts in the trough! Divine!
Arepas and now tostones? This is the best channel ever.
your videos always make me feel better, thank you
I’m from DR and tostones are the best food I love them!!! Thanks for shearing
Am from the Dominican Republic , plantain to us s like potatoes to Americans. I love both Maduro or green
Fried plantains! I lived most of my life in south Florida! Brings back memories! Love Cuban food
I am Puerto Rican and TOSTONES and MADUROS are EVERYTHING…ok among other things😂😂🥰🥰🇵🇷🇵🇷🌈🌈….p.s. I big hello to MOM….nothing in the world like MOM’s cocina🥰🥰
AH!!!! I LOVE TOSTONES 😍😍
I repeatedly cook it on the 4th of July.
I’m from Ecuador and you making tostones make me realize I was so right when I order your book 📕 💯
Aww thank you Hellen!
Tostones are my favorite 😍 🇵🇷 Great video!!
Thank you Aida!!!!
🇵🇷👌❗️
what a sheer delight this channel is
Yumeee looks so delicious and I so much loving it so incredible recipe amazing looks absolutely mouth watering excellent work perfect presentation stay blessed stay connected
I went to Panama a few years ago and had tostones for the first time and my life was forever changed. Now I live in a place where I can't get them so I definitely want to try making them!!!
I love plantain anything. Im half cuban and am now with a Puerto ricanan that put me onto mofongo. Delicious but my favorite will always be my abuelas maduros. Ive also tried a dish recently that was basically picadillo thrown into a sweet plantain and it was one of the best things ive ever had.
No way did I cooked that today! What are the odds!!! I love plantain, and this preparation we call it "patacones" in Costa Rica, which is the same thing really. Mine where paired with fish and shrimp ceviche. I can only recommend!
As a Cuban new subscriber I aprove this Tostones.
Looks great John! Tostones look really interesting to try 😋😋
Hope you enjoy! They're the perfect vehicle for almost any dip BTW.
@Preppy Kitchen you are the best
I was SOOO HAPPY to see this video! My parents are from Honduras 🇭🇳 and a typical Honduran plate includes rice, beans, and plantains! 😋
Have never had either of them. But now my curiosity is piqued and I'm going to try
Thanks for broadening my food experience
🇩🇴👍 Delicioso! We love tostones… with a little slice of really sharp cheddar! My favorite way to eat plantains is to boil them like a potato and then mash them, with a fried egg on top… Mangoo! 🙂
Mangu is the shit! But I don't fry the cheese just the salchicón.
just made this blew my mind sooo decadent thank you so much for this recipe lots of love
I'm from puerto rico and tostones aren't from Brazil. The origin is unknown but the recipe is more from Dominican Republic.im 50 and this is the first time I see someone put lime on the salty water.i was teacher to add only salt yo the water and they don't need to be in the water for so long.just like 5 is good enough to marinate in salty water.im happy to see this delicious recipe here and I hope you make more in the future 😀
Thank you. I sure will make it and share. I double fry frozen cauliflower same way with chickpea flour ( Besan) batter and you can have it with coriander chutney
If you love plantains then you should try the 🇬🇭 kelewele made with ripe plantains, ginger, habanero peppers, black pepper, onion and garlic powder, salt and any other spices of your choice. You deep fry it and add peanuts to it.... thank me later John.
We've a lot of recipes here in 🇬🇭 made with both the unripe and ripped plantains
Do you mind sharing the step by step process of preparing these plantains you speak of.? They sound 😋 😋 😋.
@@jessicamolina102 go on sweet adjeley's page here on RUclips and type sweet adjeley's authentic kelewele recipe, you'll find it there
Everyone who reads this , we don't know each other and probably never will , but I wish you all the best in life ❤ and all the luck in the world 🌎 ❤ 💙
that's sweet :)
I am from Colombia, I am glad you teaching how prepare our food, is delicious 😋 thank you 😊
Delicious are the tostones! I'm from Venezuela (Maracaibo) all Venezuelans eat it daily!
Amo Tostones e se forem acompanhados com queijo branco ralado, então é maravilhoso. Parabéns👍
We call them 'patacones' in Colombia!
Such a delicious recipe!
Making these for sure! Please make a video for the Brazilian cheese puff ball thingies 🙏🏼 thank you for all your recipes 🤗
In the meantime search "pão de queijo". I make a few batches at a time and freeze the balls to make it easier when I want them for breakfast. Just put the frozen balls in the oven without preheating. It is fantastic.
@@eviep2 Thank you 😊! I tried a recipe once but the store bought ones that I *used* to be able to find were far yummier. (And it’s not because I’m a novice in the kitchen lol). If you or anyone has a recipe link I will happily check it out. 🤗
In Panama 🇵🇦 we call them Patacones and is part of many country dishes.
I grew up in the Caribbean eating both versions of these plantains, your tostones method is exactly how I learned to cook the unripen ones and I still cook them this way today. Your ripe plantain method is slightly different than what I know (we cut them on an angle, fry them then simmer them in a butter, sugar and dark rum sauce!) but I'm going to give it a try! Thanks John!
Just thinking about these delights from Miami … I’m off to purchase plantains tomorrow… U R The best
I love tostones and maduros!! Both are a big part of my childhood.
thank god ive found this channel binge-watching since yesterday so so so satisfying
Watching for the Philippines, amazing foodie.
Omg you’re a life saver! I have a plantain going black and wanted to make these and then you upload a video 😆💕
Here in Panama we call it patacones and you don't need to soak in water, the trick is to fry them the first time until golden and hard outside, instead of a pan use something where you can deep fry, avoid browning!!!! Smash and fry second time until golden bright yellow!!! Those are the best. I love salty and crispy patacones
Just made it today, very delicious. Thanks for recipe!
Pae de Queijo is literally Cheese Bread and is a blessing to know even exists
Delicious! Thank you for sharing these beautiful recipes ☺ I also like when one toston is made out of like half a plantain.. Smashed super thin so it's huge and can be used as a base (like toast or tortilla) and topped w guac or whatever you like. I eat plant based but people top it w shredded chicken, beef or even shrimp
Yes! Jibaritos are the bomb!
Love you did those!!!. In Puerto Rico them are part of our meals
Love this! Plantains are one of my favorite foods. I am team tostones forever, but amarillos (maduros) are really good too! I've always eaten mine with mayoketchup, but I will definitely try that sauce, it looks delicious!! Please make mofongo one day!! 🇵🇷😁❤️
Thank you for bringing a little piece of Cuba to your channel. Tostones are amazing. You can also stuffed them with shrimps. So Good ❤
My mom is 🇵🇷 and she makes the best tostones with mayoketchup sauce yummm
Thank you so much for this recipe, I have a friend from the Dominica 🇩🇲 Republica who made these for dinner some 3 years ago. 😋 I can't wait to try your recipe. I wasn't there when she made them. I tried making them and it didn't come out like hers.
I'm from Puerto Rico we eat a lot of that, tostones ,both green or ripe are delicious,,,Yu need to learn to make the Mayo ketchup,,is a dip so delicious,,just 3 ingredients,,Mayo, ketchup and garlic,,ummmm yummy 🤗😋
Omg i never thought you'd do these lol. Makes my 🇵🇷/🇩🇴 heart jump 😆.
Tostones are very tasty.
The timing of this is just amazing. In Los Ángeles and going to pick up groceries and just bought 4 plantains! So excited can’t wait to try this.
Hey John! I'm Brazilian and from the state where Pão de Queijo comes from! Looking forward to your version, if you need any tips let me know!
Glad to see you jump into another world of cooking, very helpful for us inexperienced cooks.
I'm so Glad you enjoyed it!
Something new and interesting to try thank you❣️😎
Well darn now i need to run to the store, can't wait to hear my wife "what is this? you want me to eat that" to "what you mean it is gone when you making it again!"
LOLOL, they will disappear sooo fast!
It depends on what you eat. I love them both!!
I'm Dominican and grew up with these, they are addicting 😋
In ecuador we called them Patacones! 😁 And we have sooo many recipes with platano verde (tostones) and maduro. I love your recipes! It would be so cool to see you make an ecuadorean recipe like Bolones de Verde or Empanadas de Verde.
Omg yess you hit the nail on the head !! Some spanish people cannot get these right !! 🤣🤣
First time I'm seeing something like this, so curious to try this recipe!!
It's so good! Hope you enjoy!!
Who are u kidding everything you make is delicious and your favourite!
LOLOL, I do have lots of favorites :))
You can make this… you can make this… it was so reminiscent of Dr. Seuss. I love your recipes, style and voice. Thank you for sharing these videos with us!
I’ve tried your recipe and it was absolutely delicious 😋
my favorite channel ever love everything you cook, inspires me so much
You can’t be anymore Mexican than flipping a tortilla with your bare fingers on a gas stove. Especially todo wey!❤
Thank u for representing our latino culture!! Those tostones look AMAZING!
I grew up eating plantains, I love them green, thank you, I did not realize that you dry then smash, that makes sense, that sauce looks so good
Oh my gosh! Please do more plantain recipes in the future! I think using a bunch of somewhat more rare fruit in recipes would be a really cool series here in this channel 😊
And just like that, I welcome you to Cameroon 🇨🇲! These are awesome snacks and also great accompaniments to street side roasted fish! I loved your method. I've been following you for years. Keep your amazing vids coming! Ace!
Im so excited for the cookbook 🙌🏻 can’t wait to get my hands on it

Would love you to show some love to El Salvador and try pupusas!
I love fried plantain! 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾 I usually eat it with fried bakes or dumplings and saltfish. Riper is definitely better. So sweet!
I’ve never tried tostones, but they do look yummy.
Fried plantain sounds like tostones. What is the difference?
wow this is incredibly beautiful and so well made so impressed thanks for showing how to make it i will definitely be trying this myself
I'm from India, and fried 'banana chips' (basically fried raw plantains) are very common in the southern states here [they r rarely prepared at home, people often just buy them ]
:) but we just call them bananas... there r diff names in local languages but 'plantains' are often referred to as bananas idrky.
although at home, We make a deep-fried version dipped in a batter made with gram flour and rice flour before frying. (Vazhakkai bajji)
And we also make a pan-fried one with just a few spices.(Vazhakkai fry)
Plantains r also added to some curries and mixed vegetable sides here.
We don't peel them before cooking them tho :)
Yesss please make a video where you recreate all youre favorite recipes! That would be super awesome!! Btw I'm gonna try these out! They look easy to make and ofcourse DELICIOUS!
LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS🤩💖
