Instructions

1. Grating

Peel the plantains. Grate plantains and onions with the coarse side of the grater.

2. Combining

In a mixing bowl, combine the grated plantain and onion. Add egg, salt, and chives and stir to combine.

3. Frying

Heat the oil over medium-high heat 350 °F [177 °C] in a small frying pan or saucepan. Scoop two tablespoons of the plantain batter into the oil, fry 3 or 4 at a time so the oil doesn't get too cool. Once golden brown on one side, flip and fry until golden brown all over. Remove from the oil and rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with chives, and serve warm.
