INGREDIENTS

2 Pcs Plantain

1 1/2 Cup Frying Oil

1 Tsp Salt

DIRECTIONS

1) Cut off the ends of each plantain.

2) Peel plantains.

3) Cut plantains in half crosswise.

4) Using a mandoline slicer, slice plantains lengthwise into planks 1/8 inch thick.

5) Line a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack. Fill a large, deep cast iron or stainless steel skillet halfway with oil. Set over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C). Working in batches and avoiding crowding the pan, add plantain slices and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, about 4 minutes total. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer plantains to wire rack to drain. Season right away with salt. Repeat with remaining plantain slices.
