Sierra Leonean Fried Plantains

Ingredients

 * 3-4 plantains

Directions

 * 1) Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan. Slice the peeled plantains into ¼-inch rounds. Fry the slices a few at a time until they are golden and crisp on the outside but still soft on the inside. If fried too long, the inside will toughen, so try a couple to get the best timing. Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or newspaper.
