These thinly sliced burro bananas or plantains are fried until deeply golden and crispy and salty, excellent with a Cubano sandwich and a mamey milkshake.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan to 350 degrees. Cut the ends off and peel the bananas. Slice the bananas lengthwise with a mandoline into 1/8-inch-thick strips.
Fry until the bubbles decrease indicating that most of the moisture has evaporated and they're a nice golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels and immediately sprinkle all sides with salt.
