Ingredients:

2 green plantains

2 cups vegetable or canola oil

2 cloves garlic (smashed)

Add salt, to taste       

Directions:
1.  Pour the oil in a heavy skillet or deep fryer.  Heat skillet on high.

2.  Peel the plantains and slice lengthwise as thinly as possible.  
     Use a mandolin, if available, with the blade at its thinnest opening.

3.  In small batches to avoid clumping, place plantains on the skillet.

4.  Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes on each side.   

5.  Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil and sprinkle salt or garlic, to taste.
