Fried Plantains

In a heavy pot, preheat 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium high heat.

Using a sharp knife, peel plantains. If you have a mandolin available, slice plantains on a long diagonal 1/8th-inch thick. Otherwise use a very sharp, thin knife to the same affect.

Working in batches, fry about 1/4 of the plantain slices at a time. Fry for about 2 minutes until golden, turning with a slotted spoon if necessary.

Transfer from oil with a slotted spoon to paper towels and salt immediately. Repeat with remaining plantains.
