Fried Plantains

I have wanted to try these for years and out of the blue, Prince Charming brought me some home!  See why I love that man?  I let the ones I got get really ripe, so here is the recipe I am trying. 

Fried Plantains

Ingredients:
oil for frying
2 plantains

Directions:
1. Preheat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium high heat.
2. Peel the plantains and cut them in half. Slice the halves lengthwise into thin pieces.
3. Fry the pieces until browned and tender. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
