For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the Mayo Ketchup dipping sauce.
Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent for even frying.
Don't overcrowd the fryer; fry the plantains in batches to maintain the oil temperature.
For a richer flavor, consider using avocado oil for frying.
Tostones are best served immediately while they are still hot and crispy.
