Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

2 green plantains
Vegetable oil for frying
Salt

Preparation

Heat the oil to 375 degrees.

While the oil is heating up, peel the green plantains and then cut them into 3/4 inch slices.

Fry the slices in the hot oil for 3 minutes. They should be a light golden color and semi-soft.

Remove the plantain slices with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

When the plantain slices are cool enough to handle (about 1 minute), smash them into flat rounds.

Fry the rounds in the hot oil for 3 minutes.

Place on paper towel. Add salt immediately.
