Inka Chips Plantain Tostones

Take an unripe green plantain (you know, the bigger, less-sweet cousin of the banana). Chop it into thick slices. Fry until soft, then smash flat with a heavy mallet, or tostonera (similar to a tortilla press). Fry again until golden and crispy. Or, if that all sounds a bit time-consuming, just grab a bag of these fabulously crunchy tostones and enjoy the crispy, savory goodness right away. These salty snacks are infused with spicy jalapeño, and go really well with guacamole and a cold drink.
