Fill a deep fryer or Dutch oven with vegetable oil, about 2 to 3 inches. Heat oil at 375 degrees. Remove skin from plantain and cut off the fibrous strings. Slice the plantain into paper thin rounds. Deep fry plantain slices, a dozen at a time until golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and serve chips warm or at room temperature.

Yields 4 servings.
