    I use the bottom of a 2-cup pyrex measuring cup to smash them. They slide right off. We also have a dipping sauce for them: Add a couple of tablespoons of oil to the Mojo marinade you buy at the store. Mix well. Yum.

    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.
