| Cut the plantain into long thin strips
with a sharp knife, plantain slicer, or mandolin—the
thinner the better.
Instructions for pan frying:
In a large frying pan, add enough vegetable oil to cover
the plantain chips completely. Heat the oil to the frying
stage, about 360 to 375 degrees F. Fry the plantain
chips in the hot oil, turning occasionally until brown
on both sides. Drain on paper towels; keep warm in oven
until ready to serve.
Instructions for deep fat frying:
Heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Place a single layer
of plantain chips in the fryer basket, drop in hot oil,
and cook for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, or until
golden brown. Be careful not to overcook. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for your deep fat
fryer. Drain on paper towels; keep warm in oven until
ready to serve. Serves 2 to 4.
