Plantains are a staple in the Cuban diet. We use them in many different dishes, but you most frequently see them served as maduros (fried sweet plantain) and tostones

- Vegetable oil for frying
- Green plantain, peeled and cut into 2" slices
- Salt
Directions
- Peel the plantain: Cut the ends of each plantain off with a sharp knife. Use the knife to cut through the peel only the entire lenth of the plantain. Loosen the peel along the cut and remove peel by hand.
- Cut the plantain into slices, about 2" to 2 1/2" wide.
- Fill a large skillet a third full with oil and heat over medium-high heat to a temperature of about 300 degrees F. Once the oil is hot, fry the plantain slices for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, just long enough to make them soft.
- Remove the plantains and drain on paper towels. Use a plantain press or a brown paper bag folded over to smash the plantains to about half their thickness.
- Let the oil come back to a higher temperature -- this time about 375 degrees F. Fry once again, turning occasionally, until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove and use paper towels to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with plenty of salt and serve.
