• 1 Cup Oil for frying Pinch of Salt 
  

 

Process. Peel the plantain and cut it into thick slices, you can measure it by putting two fingers in each space and cut. Around 10 slices. Fry on both sides, leaving approximately 1 min on each side over high heat. Remove them from the heat. 

 

Using a clean and dry towel, squash them into a round shape. Put them back into the same hot oil, let it brown to a crispy consistency. Remove from the heat and let it rest to remove all of the fat. For the Cheese... Cut into cubes and fry them or just leave it cool and serve it together with the plantains.
