Directions:
Using a knife, cut the plantains into 1 inch thick chunks. In a frying pan or deep fryer heat about 1/2 cup oil at medium-high heat. Fry the plantain chunks for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown. Remove them and place them on a plate lined with paper towel to soak up the oil. Wait a few minutes until the plantain chunks cool down. Using the skin of the plantains, place the cut plantains in the middle of the skin and smash it down flat. Place the smashed plantain chunks into the pan and refry again until they are golden brown on both sides. Place on plate lined with clean paper towel to soak the excess oil. Salt to taste
