Ingredients

Oil, for frying
3 plantains
Salt

Directions

Special equipment: "Old Fashioned Plantain Smasher"

Preheat oil to 350 degrees F.

Cut plantains down the middle; peel away skin and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces.

Add plantains to the hot oil and fry until golden; about 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook as you want the center to still be raw. Lightly salt.

*Cook's Note: Check the doneness with a toothpick. The middle of the plantain should still feel starchy and cool.

Put the fried plantain through the old fashioned smasher. This will make it a cup shape.

Place the "the plantain cup" into the deep-fryer and fry again until golden brown and fully firm, about 2 to 3 minutes Drain on a paper towel lined sheet tray. Season with salt.

Plantain Smasher
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I found this recipe to be very easy to cook. I do not have the Plantain Smasher but plan to purchase one as soon as I find... one. I enjoyed the show very much. A girlfriend made these about 35 years ago. It was the first and last time i had them. However, she soaked her plantains in salt water first. THANKS FOR BRINGING A MEMORABLE TIME BACK as I lost touch with her.Read more
