Plantain ChipsDitte Isager

For an elegant change of pace from store-bought tortilla chips, fry thin slices of plantain at home. When slipped into hot oil, the plantains curve into beautiful, long strips. Delicately flavored and impossibly crisp, these chips are great for dipping in guacamole.

Cooks note:

Chips can be made 1 day ahead and kept (once cool) in an airtight container at room temperature.
