A Cuban root vegetable snack, fried malanga is made by lightly frying thin malanga slices, lightly smashing them, and returning them to hot oil a second time. The two-stage fry gives a crisp outside and a soft inside.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

First fry

6 min

Fry the thick malanga slices in medium-hot oil for 5-6 minutes until lightly colored, then drain on paper towels.

2

Smash the slices

4 min

Once cooled slightly, press the slices gently flat on a surface with a plate to a thickness of a few millimeters.

3

Second fry

5 min

Heat the oil to a high temperature and fry the smashed slices for another 4-5 minutes until crisp and golden on all sides.

4

Finish with garlic and serve

2 min

Toss the hot slices with the crushed garlic and salt and serve immediately.

Reminder

Make sure the oil is truly hot before the second fry; frying in lukewarm oil at that stage makes the vegetable soak up oil and turn heavy. This recipe does not contain a known allergen group.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Don't flatten the malanga too thin when smashing; leaving a few millimeters of thickness keeps the slices intact through the second fry instead of falling apart.
