Begin by removing the thick, fibrous skin from the plantains.
Slice the plantains into thick pieces and fry them in hot oil until they are lightly golden.
Remove the fried plantains from the oil and gently smash each piece.
Return the smashed plantains to the hot oil and fry again until they are crisp and golden.
Sprinkle with salt and serve with a squeeze of lime, or enjoy with garlic mojo, guacamole, or salsa.
