Instructions

Peel the plantains and slice them info 1-inch rounds. Add them to a bowl and cover with water. Soak for 10 minutes.
Mash the pork rinds (or bacon), garlic, olive oil, and salt in a mortar or heavy bowl. You may need to do this in batches.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Do not boil.
Dry the plantains and fry them in the oil until crispy and golden, 10-12 minutes, flipping once to fry all sides. Drain on paper towels.
Mash the fried plantains with the pork rind mixture until well mixed. Adjust for salt.
Serve by rolling into 2-inch (or larger) balls or pressed into a small bowl, with simple garnish or your favorite sauce.

Notes

Serve as a side or main, with or without sauce. There are many ways to serve mofongo.
