OMG, I almost fell out of my chair. Thanks Random Guy.

Just like everyone is telling you. You have to peel them, slice them slightly angled, press them, fry them (just like you fry french fries), and then eat them while they're still warm. A little salt on top, little ketchup to go with it.......DELICIOUS. My wife, who was born and raised in GA (ie. aint never seen a freaking plaintain before she met me), loves them. She eats them as her appetizer everytime we go to a spanish restaurant.

For sweet ones, the plaintain has to be ripe. There are several ways to cook them too, but the most popular is the same as the tostones above. Difference is that when they come out, they are soft and not hard like tostones and they are also very sweet unlike tostones. Cooking them is the same though. They are very good with yellow rice and beans.

You can also cook them, smash them up to make a dry kind of dough like, and then stuff them with anything from seafood to meat. That's called mofongo. The only thing about mofongo is that depending on the cook, it can turn out really really good or really dry (which to me is NOT good). I like pouring a little fish stock over mine to keep it moist and add lots of flavor.

What you really need to do is go with someone that KNOWS to a spanish restaurant and try them out. If you don't like them, then atleast you'll know it's not because you didn't know to cook them....... I'm still laughing about that one......too funny.
