Default Plantains?

My grocery store has them on sale this week 3/$1.00 . I've never tried them
but have always been curious so this is my chance. I plan to buy tomorrow
morning. I like bananas so I'm assuming I should like these similar things?

I do know they need to be cooked and I want to try them as plain as possible
the first time to experience the true taste. I did a google search and see
that fried seems to be the best plain way.

I'm thinking of slicing and frying in a pan with just a bare melted layer of
butter. Or would a neutral tasting oil be better?

Any opinions are welcome tonight. I'll be at the grocery store at 6am
tomorrow morning...my traditional time for shopping.
