In a large deep skillet, pour oil to a depth of 2 inches, and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375˚.
Fry plantains until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. While still warm, flatten plantains to about ¼-inch thickness using a tortilla press or flat bottom of a glass. Fry plantains again until golden yellow on both sides. Using a slotted spoon, remove from oil, and let drain on paper towels. Season to taste with salt. Serve immediately.
