Ingredients

  • 2 green plantains, mashed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 quarts peanut or canola oil for deep-frying

Directions

  1. Combine plantains, salt, black pepper, the chile, and garlic. Shape into rounds about the size of a thin slice of potato.
  2. Heat oil to 375°F. Add rounds, 6–8 at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  3. Drain on a cooling rack set above a sheet pan, and season immediately with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Serve warm or room temperature.
