How do you cook plantains?

I've had them before, but I bought one yesterday and thought I'd make something for dinner with it tonight.

I was thinking plantains and potatoes cut up and covered in olive oil. Then put in the oven until cooked.

Is that an appropriate way of cooking them?
 
Yo-Yo
In Venezuela, a yo-yo is a traditional dish made of two short slices of fried ripened plantain (see Tajadas) placed on top of each other with local soft white cheese in the middle (in a sandwich-like fashion) and held together with toothpicks. The arrangement is dipped in beaten eggs and fried again until the cheese melts and the yo-yo acquires a deep golden hue. They are served as sides or entrees
