Method
For the Plantain Chips

Prepare the Plantains
Peel the green plantains by cutting off the ends and making a lengthwise slit in the skin. Remove the skin and slice the plantains thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a sharp knife or a mandoline.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Fry the Chips
Carefully add the sliced plantains to the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per batch.
