Title: Fried Plantains #1
Yield: 2 Servings
Ingredients
2 plantains
1 oil for frying
Instructions

This is an easy and tasy way of preparing plantains;
Cut plantains into about 1/2 inch slices. Fry for several minutes in hot
oil, until slices begin to turn golden (not too dark), and they are
beginning to get tender. They do not need to be really soft at this point.
Take slices out of oil and drain on a paper towel. Move to a sturdy surface
like a cutting board, and smash the slices down with the bottom of a cup
(like a juice glass or some such). The point is to make them smash down to
about 1/2 their original height, not to get them really thin.
Throw back into hot oil and fry again, until they get more tender, maybe
1-2 minutes on each side. Take out of oil, drain, sprinkle with salt and
server in place of potatos.
