Step 5Smash
When your fried plantain slices have cooled enough to handle, it's time for some smashing.
Find a nice big flat item; it can be a big knife, a cutting board, a fry pan, or anything else with a nice flat surface. I'm using a cleaver.
Place your fried and cooled plantain slice on a clean flat surface (counter or cutting board), then place your cleaver (or equivalent) on top. No smashing death from above; just place it gently on top.
Now push or lean on your cleaver until you feel the plantain smush underneath. It should squish down to less than half its original thickness.
Peel it off the cleaver with a spatula, and make a pile as you work through the fried plantains.
