Patacones (Basic)

• 1 Green Plantain
• 1 Oil
• 1 Salt

1. Peel and cut plantain in small rounds of about 1/8 in thickness
2. Place plantain slices into a small amount of oil (I use medium-low) and cook both sides lightly.
3. You want them semisoft on the top and bottom.
4. Take the slices from the oil and smash them flat.
5. I generally use some wax paper for this part to keep them from sticking to surfaces.
6. Place them back into the oil and cook until light brown.
7. Remove & let any oil drain on a paper towl.
8. Add salt while still hot.
9. If you wish, add garlic powder or other tasty spice/spice mixture.
