Peel the plantains and cut them diagonally into slices about 1 cm thick.
Fill a frying pot about one-third full of oil and heat it to about 180 °C.

Take them out with a skimmer, put them on a board and flatten them with a second board or a glass.
Put the pieces into the pot again and deep-fry them until golden.
