Procedure: Peel the plantains.
Grate using the largest blades in your
manual grater or its equivalent in any
of the mechanical grating devices.
Leave the pieces as long as you
possibly can.
Season thoroughly, to taste
Fry in very hot oil, a few pieces at a time. Don't worry if they all get tangled together
and look like a bird's nest. That's part of
the effect.
Remove them when they are golden in color
and set over paper towels to soak the
frying oil.
