Plantain Chips

Ingredients for Plantain Chips

• About 950ml vegetable oil

• 900g green plantains

• Equipment: a deep-fat thermometer

• an adjustable-blade slicer or Y-shaped vegetable peeler

How to make Plantain Chips

Heat 1 inch oil to 191°C in a 4- to 5-quarts heavy pot over medium-high heat.

Meanwhile, cut ends from (unpeeled) plantains, then halve plantains crosswise. Cut a lengthwise slit through peel and discard peel. Cut plantains lengthwise into very thin slices (less than 1/16 inch thick) with slicer.

Fry plantains in batches of 10 to 12 slices, turning frequently, until golden, about 1 minute per batch. Drain on paper towels, immediately seasoning each batch with salt. Return oil to 191°C between batches.
