Citrus Mashed Plantains

Plaintains are members of the banana family, but they are starchier. Unlike bananas, they can't be eating raw. They are delicious baked, fried or-- in this case-- boiled and then mashed. They have a light orange color. This recipe adds a little lime zest and butter. We served this as a side dish to Jamaican Jerk chicken. It's a nice change from making mashed potatoes and a lot healthier!
