Peel the plantains or green bananas. Cut them into 2 pieces crosswise. And run them through a mandolin lengthwise. Or if you prefer shave them through the mandolin into thin, round slices too.

Fry them in oil till they turn crispy and golden brown. Once out of the fryer, sprinkle salt, pepper as per taste right away.

To some people's frustration, I like to talk about food before cooking, while cooking, while eating and of course after eating.
