TOSTONES (POTATOES)
In eighteenth-century Mexico and California, a toston was a silver doubloon worth fifty cents. These are round slices of potato in chile sauce named after these silver coins. Although the recipe calls for baking the potatoes, I precooked my potatoes in the microwave by piercing them with a fork and cooking on high for about 5 minutes which really cut back on the prep time.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake the potatoes for at least 45 minutes. Allow them to cool so you can easily peel and cut them into 1/4 inch slices. Heat the oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Brown the slices of potatoes, turning frequently. Meanwhile, prepare the gravy.
- Chile Gravy: Heat the additional 2 tablespoons oil in another skillet and blend in the flour. Cook until the flour is golden to make a roux, then stir in the garlic. Cook for just 1 minute. Add the cumin and oregano. Remove skillet from the heat.
- Combine the chile powder and water in a medium bowl, whisking until well blended. Add the chicken broth. Whisk this chile mixture into the flour roux. Place the skillet back over medium heat, and whisk the sauce to keep it smooth. Add the vinegar and salt and simmer for at least 15 minutes until the gravy thickens.
- To Serve the Tostones: arrange the potatoes in a shallow casserole or in 6 individual bowls and drizzle the gravy over the top. Garnish with the cheese and minced green onions, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425.
- Peel the plantains by chopping off the ends, then making a shallow split lengthwise through each plantain, essentially scoring the skin without cutting too deeply into the plantain itself. Once you've made your score, take your thumb and gently coax the peel off of the plantain. Typically once you get this going, the peel comes off pretty readily. Try leaving your plantains out on the counter at room temperature in general if you have issues peeling them.
- Slice each plantain into 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch slices. Arrange the slices between two sheet pans.
- Drizzle half the coconut oil or olive oil over one tray, then the remaining half over the other. Toss the plantain slices gently so that all sides are covered, then take a minute to arrange the slices so they each have about an inch circumference around them for now.
- Sprinkle generously with sea salt and pepper, then bake the plantains for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, take the trays out, flip each plantain slice, and then using the flat bottom of a cup, gently press down on each slice to create the the traditional tostone shape. If you find the bottom of the cup is sticking to the tostones while you're trying to remove it, let it sit on them for an extra two seconds. The steam from the hot tostone will help release the bottom of the cup, you just gotta give it a sec!
- Place the trays back in the oven for 5-10 additional minutes (depending on how thickly sliced the plantains were), or until browned.
- Remove the trays from the oven, place the tostones in a serving dish and sprinkle with additional sea salt, black pepper, lime juice, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, or just wait for the inevitable dips to flavor these tasty tostones.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- To prepare the plantains: Here's a helpful video. Slice off both ends of each plantain. Use the tip of a paring knife to cut through the skin of a plantain from top to bottom, following the curve of the plantain as you go. You want to slice just deep enough to cut through the skin (less than 1/4 inch deep)-you'll get the feel of it as you go. Repeat twice more on the plantain so you have three evenly-spaced slits. Use your fingers or a spoon, angled downward, to pry off each section. Discard the skins and repeat for the remaining plantains. Slice the plantains into 1-inch thick rounds, then set aside.
- On the prepared baking sheet, toss the sliced plantains with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Disperse them evenly across the pan, flat sides down. Bake for 15 minutes, then place the pan on a heat-safe surface.
- Using the bottom of a glass liquid measuring cup (or mason jar or other sturdy glass), gently press straight down on one round to achieve about 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat for each round.
- Brush the tops of each round with oil, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. Flip them and brush the other sides (you may need to use just a bit more than 2 tablespoons oil here). Sprinkle the salt over the rounds.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 14 to 17 minutes, until nicely golden and sizzling. Season with additional salt, to taste. Serve warm with dipping sauce, if desired.

Steps:
- Pour 5 inches oil in high-sided saucepan. Heat over medium flame to 365 degrees.
- Slice plantains into one-inch long pieces; fry, 3 or 4 at a time until golden and starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Lift with slotted spoon; drain on paper towel. Transfer to work surface, stand plantains on ends, and, using a small durable plate or bottom of a saucepan, press down on each until it flattens to a 1/4-inch-thick circle. Return plantains to oil; fry until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Lift out of oil, and drain on fresh paper towel; sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately, or keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining plantains.

- Trim the ends off the plantains. Score each plantain along two sides deep enough to cut through the skins.
- Microwave the plantains until they become soft in the center. For 2 plantains this will take about 6 to 6 1/2 minutes. For 1 plantain, about 3 to 3 1/2 minutes, depending on your microwave. The skins will become black.
- Peel the plantains and cut them into 3/4 inch thick slices while hot. You should get about 12 per plantain.
