Reason #421 why Colombia is awesome – Make your own Potato Chips

Barranquilla — By Ryan on April 25, 2010 1:19 am

Damn straight.  First time I’ve ever made my own Potato Chips in my life and now I’m doing it all the time. In fact, it is probably what I use potatoes the most for down here.  However the real magic is in Patagones, which are probably my favorite snack down here.  Instead of potatoes you use green plantanes and you can either slice em up thin for a chip or you can cut em up into 4 chunks, squash each chunk flat and then deep fry it.  Either way it is absolute goodness.

Down here we have a pot of oil that never leaves the stove and is refilled every couple of days because of our patagones and other goodies.  Probably not the best but we by good soy oil, or corn oil for our frying
