Two-tone Tostones

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 2 large ripe plantains (yellow-spotted or full-black ripeness)
• 2 medium yams (bright golden yams are best) or 2 medium sweet potatoes (bright golden yams are best)
• sea salt
• 2 -6 tablespoons olive oil or 2 -6 tablespoons cooking spray

Recipe

• 1 wash the sweet potatoes. pierce the peel in 6-8 places, place both in microwave and nuke for 4-6 minutes, until partially cooked.
• 2 while sweet potatoes are cooking, peel plantains and slice into medium rounds.
• 3 slice sweet potatoes into chunks. my preferred method it to quarter them and then chunk the quarters like a banana. nice triangular pieces are good for presentation.
• 4 heat olive oil in a large skillet or nonstick frying pan.
• 5 on medium to medium-high heat, fry sweet potato and plantain slices together, stirring and flipping to prevent sticking or burning.
• 6 grate sea salt over slices during frying process.
• 7 drain and shake onto serving plate. best hot! reheat well in oven or toaster oven after refrigeration, poorly in microwave.
