I love fried plantains and my Dominican buddy in Alaska taught me how to make them just right. Selecting plantains is like picking out rotten bananas. They should be black on the outside. Now you have the choice to make a sweet or savory version. I like them like potato chips (but healthier!). 1. Peel and slice the plantains diagonally - creating larger slices (1/4" thick). 2. Brown them in vegetable oil with a little butter over medium heat. 3. Pull them out and then mash them with a glass or bottle bottom! (about 1/8" thick) 4. Fry them now and lightly salt each side. Yum!
