WAY easier than trying to peel the thing off in one piece. Have you ever tried to peel a green plantain? They're super glued on by Nature herself.

They should be about this big, but not much bigger. They're a side dish, and you don't want them taking up most of the pan. Besides..... if they're small, you can eat more of them. =D

They don't have to brown the first time they cook, just enough to squish easier.

This was actually too flat. You wanna leave them with a little bit of thickness to them; they're better that way. But the flatter edges brown better so really, either way you can't lose.

This is about the point where we got excited to eat them. They smelled so good! And they tasted even better.
