Malanga Chips
Method
Preparation and Frying
- 1
Prepare the Malanga
Peel the malanga and slice it thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Aim for uniform thickness for even frying.
- 2
Soak the Slices
Soak the malanga slices in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them become crispier when fried.

Fry the Malanga
Carefully add the soaked malanga slices to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

Drain and Season
Remove the chips from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt and paprika.

Serve
Serve the crispy malanga chips warm with your choice of dip.
