      @@bkmac10 I soak them in it for 10 minutes and then I fry them. I only let it fry till it’s a pale golden color. I take them out and then I squash them and dip them again in the salted water for about 1 or 2 minutes and then I finish frying them again.

Keep up the great videos! Love the simple manner with which you prepare the dishes and your recipes. Great job!

    In my humble opinion there is no need for soaking in salt water as that step is for making masa for pasteles and alcapurrias. I just peel cut and try remove smash fry until crispy then add salt and maybe some garlic. Save some time and the extra step. Looks yummy. Try it for lunch with topped picadillo.
