    Peel plantains and cut into 1-inch thick slices. Fry plantains on one side for 3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Allow to cool for 1 minute. Smash each piece so that they are 1/2-inch thick. They should be soft inside. Return to pan, placing uncooked side down in to the oil. Cook for 3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
