Platain Chips

Directions

1. 1
   Pour the oil in a pan on medium high and wait for it to heat up.
2. 2
   Peel the plantain and cut into slices, thick or thin.
3. 3
   A traditional chip is very thin, but I personally prefer a ticker one so it's crunchy on the outside and sort in the middle.
4. 4
   Place slices in heated oil, and cook each side for about a minute or two.
5. 5
   You shouldn't brown them.
6. 6
   Let them cool for a few minutes, but leave the oil on.
7. 7
   Take a price of parchment or wax paper (to prevent sticking) and place a slice on it, then fold over.
8. 8
   Use the cup and smash them flat.
9. 9
   Place back in the oil and lightly brown them, two or three minutes on each side.
10. 10
    Sprinkle salt on them while they are hot.
11. 11
    Let cool.
