Soft in the center and crisp outside, this side dish accompanies most Cuban meals.

Vegetable oil for frying
3 medium-size very ripe plantains (skin should be partly black –trust me!) peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick diagonally

Heat 1 inch of oil in a skillet until hot (plantain should sizzle when it touches the oil.) Fry as many rounds as will fit in one layer until golden brown about 2-3 minutes on each side turning with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper tower-lined platter and serve immediately.
