Directions.
Using a knife, cut the plantains into 1 inch thick chunks.

 In a frying pan or deep fryer, pour 2 to 3 inches of the oil and heat the oil over medium-high heat.

Fry the plantain chunks for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown.

Remove and place them in a bowl with 2 paper towels, one on top one on the bottom, to soak the oil.

Let them sit for a few minutes until the plantain chunks cool down.

Using a clean paper towel, wrap the chunks and smash them flat.

Place the smashed plantain chunks into the pan and refry again until they are golden brown on both sides.

Place them again in a bowl with paper towels to soak the oil and serve hot.

 Add salt to taste and enjoy! Some people like to pour the juice of a lemon on top also.
