Ingredients
- 2 very dark plantains, the darker the sweeter - like a bad banana
- light vegetable oil
- salt in a shaker
- ½ lime
- large shallow platter
- paper towels
Directions
- Peel plantains and rub them with the lime to prevent them from turning brown.
- Slice the plantains into thin slices and smash to flatten.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or deep pan to the right (high) frying temperature.
- Place small batches of the chips into the frying pan or skillet carefully separating them out with a fork. Some clumping is inevitable.
- Tap the chips with the fork when they begin to turn a medium golden yellow.
- They are ready to be quickly scooped out when you hear a 'hollow' sound as you tap them.
- Remove the chips and place over paper towels to allow the excess oil to be soaked and use the shaker to salt them while still hot.
- Serve the chips as soon after cooking as possible.

My Mom made plantain for us when we were very little and I loved it just as much then as I do now. Great "5" fork recipe.
