Love these little guys! We call them 'Chifles' in Ecuador. At the store they even sell them in various flavors, but home made is always sooo much better!

Excellent. Just returned from Cuba and we enjoyed them at the beach side restaurant. I am thrilled to make them at home. I followed the recipe to the tee and they were just like in Cuba.

Just made these tonight 8/25/10 and they are actually really good. I heard ppl say that plantains were not good at all and I wouldn't like them. So I am glad that I at least tried them. As a chip they are great and less fat/cals then reg potatoe chips. Thanks for the listed recipe!

These things are popular in Honduran cuisine. We call them tajadas. A great way to eat them, is by serving a seasoned ground beef mixture (diced potatoes, bell peppers, etc) over them with sprinkled white cheese and a nice salsa, and pickled red onion.

Yummmm! After having a friend's homemade chips I HAD to make them myself. They came out just as delicious, and it was really easy! Next time I am at the market I will be buying more plantains to make this again!

my green plantain crisped nicer and was easier to cut uniformly, while the yellow plantain was softer, sweeter and cooked a darker brown and remained chewy. although these differences occured both are still fantastic to eat!

These are pretty good. I have no idea if I did them correctly or not. This is the first time I've made anything with plantains, and for some reason I was thinking they'd be just like potato chips. Well, if they are supposed to be I cooked them wrong, because mine were still a bit soft and chewy on the inside but crispy on the outside. I thought they were good. I'm not a big fan of frying, though, so I wonder if they could be baked. Perhaps I'll experiment with that next time. Thanks for the recipe!
