i bought a plantain because i want to make chips
should i fry it twice like a potato?
any other considerations?
i've never done this before
Slice very thin, "boil" oil
in pan, put 3 minutes each side.
Enjoy.

Just eat it like a banana. How can you know an ingredient well enough to cook with it if you haven't experienced it top to bottom in it's purest form?

i hate raw bananas
shallow fry them, you don't need to go crazy with oil though.
make sure it's hot enough that the oil bubbles around them. also not too hot or they'll burn easily, especially if they're blackened plantains with higher sugar content.
no need to double fry them. just pay a lot of attention and try and check regularly, flip when necessary

The same way as you do with every other ingredient that is inedible or unpalatable in its raw state you gashdribbling fucktard.

Sorry your palate is so underdeveloped, pleb. Maybe you should stick to Fast Food and Frozen TV Dinners.

your bait is bad
If they are ripe (yellow/black) you can cut them in slices about a quarter inch, then fry the fucks. you can alternatively peel them and put them in an oven for about 40 minutes at 350°. Don't eat them raw, they taste like shit raw.

If it's green, cut into thick disks, fry lightly, pound flat, then fry again. If it's ripe, then just cut into slices and fry once.
