1. 1Step 1: Cut both ends off the plantains and make a small slice lengthwise down the entire plantain. Carefully remove the peel and slice at an angle into 1/2 inch pieces.
2. 2Step 2: Add the corn oil to a cast iron skillet or other fry pan and heat to medium-high. Check to see if the oil is hot enough by adding a small piece of the plantain peel; if it bubbles, it's ready.
3. 3Step 3: Add the sliced plantains in batches with a slotted spoon or tongs and fry on both sides for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Do not crowd the pan. Remove to a wire rack or paper towel and sprinkle with salt while still hot.
