Belizean Fu Fu Mashed Plantain

I bought a recipe book by a local women's group on my recent trip to belize (silly bug & bittle recipes) and this one sounds like something i would like. I love plantains and i love mashed sweet potatoes, so i'm guessing i would like this. The original recipe calls for just the plantain but the site requires at least 2 ingredients so i added butter and salt as i have a feeling i'll add a little of both, but will give it a try plain first and then modify as needed.

Steps

Plantains are ripe when the skin turns black and they are soft to the touch.
Peel the plantain and cut in half.
Put plantain in a pot covered with water and boil until soft.
Drain water and mash in pot with a potato masher.
Add butter and salt as to taste.

Ingredients

plantain, butter, salt
