We've gotten really into plantains lately so this is the first of a few great recipes with them. A close friend of ours, Brittany Gonzalez, who owns La Banana Frita  has inspired us with her amazing uses of plantains...if you live anywhere near CLE make sure to check her out.  One of our favorite plantain dishes is hash browns...they are so quick and easy to make and you can serve with breakfast, lunch or dinner (or as a snack).  For this recipe we kept it super simple, but feel free to try different spice/flavor combos to your liking.
