Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for frying

2 green plantains, peeled

2 limes, zested and juiced

Salt

Directions

  1. Preheat 1-inch of oil in a deep sided skillet over medium-high heat to 360 degrees F.
  2. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice plantains into 1/8-inch thick ovals on the diagonal. Carefully add plantains to the oil in batches and fry until a tap with a metal spoon sounds hollow, about 1 minute. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle lightly with lime zest, lime juice and salt. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.

The first time I experimented with plantain, I was half- following this recipe, half- taking my mother's advice of using a brown plantain, thicker slices & less crispiness. Needless to say, I didn't much enjoy it. The second time, my desire was chips so that's what I made, and with a yellowish-green one. I prepared them in batches, but could not keep my mitts off of them. The chips [of 1 plantain] were already half gone by the time I finished. As I did not have lime, I used lemon instead and they were nothing short of great.
