Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.
Cut the ends off the plantain and score the peels from end to end, making sure not to cut through to the plantains. Pull the peels off and discard.
Slice the plantains on an angle to make longer pieces, about 1 inch thick.
Fry the plantains in the oil for 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon onto a cutting board.
Using a spatula press down firmly to flatten the plantains. Then place back into the oil and fry for 1 minute per side or until crispy. Immediately season with salt, then serve.

**If plantains are green at the store put them in a brown paper bag on the counter for a day or two.
