INGREDIENTS

  • Main ingredient

    • 2 pounds yuca, peeled, and cut into 4-inch sections

  • Oil

    • 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

  • Seasoning

    • 🧂 Salt to taste

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Place yuca into a large pot; add water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until yuca can be pierced easily with a fork, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and allow to steam for several minutes until cool enough to handle.

3

Cut yuca into French fry-sized sticks, discarding fibrous core.

4

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

5

Working in batches, fry yuca in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain in a paper towel-lined bowl.

6

Season with salt and serve hot.

💡 Yuca should be peeled carefully as its skin is tough.Avoid overcrowding the fryer to ensure the fries cook evenly.Serve with a dipping sauce like garlic aioli or ketchup for a flavor boost.
