Homemade Plantain Chips

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Peel the plantains: trim both ends, score the skin along the ridges, then lift and pull off the whole skin by hand.
2. Slice the plantains thinly with a mandoline, the slicing side of a box grater, or a knife.
3. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of water with the salt.
4. Heat oil in a deep pan, up to 4 inches deep, on high for about 10 minutes until it reaches 350°F. Lower the heat to medium, then add the plantain slices one at a time, in batches (the creator added half at this point). Add 2 tablespoons of the salt water.
5. Stir gently from time to time and fry for about 5 minutes.
6. Remove the chips and drain on paper towels.
7. Let the chips cool completely before eating. Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag.
