Fried Plantains

Directions

1. 1
   Peel the plantain and cut it on an angle into 1/2-inch thick slices.
2. 2
   In a large frying pan, heat the butter over medium-high heat until it foams. Add the plantain slices in a single layer and cook until the bottom side is turning a deep golden brown -- several minutes -- then flip and cook the second side.
3. 3
   Transfer the plantain pieces to a plate. Serve accompanied by bacon, or sour cream, and/or drizzled with maple syrup, if you desire.
