Line a large plate with paper towels.
Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat until hot (375F).
Transfer to the prepared plate until cool enough to handle.
Place the fried plantains on a clean, hard surface.
Using the bottom of a mason jar or small saucepan, smash them flat.
Reheat the oil over medium heat; refry the tostones until hot, about 2 minutes more.
Transfer to the plate and sprinkle with salt.
Repeat frying, smashing and refrying with the remaining batch of plantain slices.
Stir mayonnaise, ketchup and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
Serve with the tostones.
