Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

Fried plantains are one of the best kept secrets of world cuisine. A simple batter is all you need to fry plantain slices to a perfect crisp outside, soft inside balance. They work great alongside eggs, beans and rice, or fruit. In Indonesia, this is called "Pisang Goreng."

2 tablespoons milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon brown sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
corn oil (for frying)
1 large very ripe plantain, peeled and cut diagonally in half-inch thick slices
Whisk together the milk, egg, brown sugar, flour, and salt in a shallow dish until well blended. If the batter is too thick you can add additional milk.
Heat the oil (about 1/2-inch deep) in a skillet over medium heat.
Dip each slice of plantain in the batter, coating completely and letting any excess drip off. Add the battered plantain slices to the hot oil, in batches if needed.
Cook, 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove from the oil and let drain on paper toweling.
Serve warm.
