Cut off the ends of the plantains and score down one of the spines to peel them.

Chunk the peeled plantains into 1-inch sections.

While the bacon cooks, prepare the plantains and set them aside.

Heat oil in a separate pan for frying the plantains later.

Once the bacon is crispy, reserve some bacon grease for mashing the plantains.

Mash the fried plantains with the reserved bacon grease and chicken broth for added flavor.
