Plantain Chips (Patacones)
If sliced thinly, these are crispy chips. If thickly sliced, they have a creamy center and make a delicious vegetable side dish.
3 large green plantains, pared
and very thinly sliced
Vegetable oil
Salt
Cover plantain slices with ice water. Let stand 30 minutes; drain. Pat dry.
Heat 1 to 1 1/2 inches oil to 375 degrees F. Fry 12 to 14 plantain slices at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon. Drain; sprinkle with salt.
