Chef RemyM cooks a favorite Latin snack . . . Plantain Chips! The fast technique of using an inexpensive hand slicer right over the deep fryer keeps the chips from sticking to each other as they individually fall into the hot oil. Chef RemyM saw this on a commercial plantain chip machine (on a huge scale of course) and brought it home on a small scale. Try this, you will have hundreds of crispy, salty chips in no time and with very little cost. You can use a fry pan with half inch of oil or an inexpensive deep fryer. Peel green plantains (not yellow) to get best results. Put sea salt in a bowl before the chips are done to make the salt stick as you dump the fryer basket into the bowl to shake.
Use canola oil. Set oil-filled fry pan on stove. Attain 375 degrees F. Or use an electric automatic deep fryer as shown. Hold slicer as close over oil as your hands can stand the heat
