Peel and slice the plantains into ½ inch thick fry shaped pieces. Add the oil to a heavy bottomed pot and heat to 300 degrees F.
Fry the plantains. Gently add the plantains to the oil using a heat safe tool and fry for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt. Enjoy!
