Crispy Yuca Fries
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds yuca, peeled, and cut into 4 inch sections
  • 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
  • salt to taste
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary ingredients for the dish.
2
Fill a large container with yuca, making sure it's completely submerged in water.
3
Heat the water to its boiling point and then lower the temperature to a moderate level, allowing it to simmer gently.
4
Cover the container with a lid and let it cook for 20-30 minutes, or until yuca is tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork.
5
Once cooked, carefully pour off the water and let yuca steam for several minutes until it has cooled down enough to handle comfortably.
6
Cut the cooked yuca into long, thin strips, similar in size to French fries. Discard any tough or fibrous parts.
7
Heat a substantial amount of oil in a deep frying device to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
8
Fry yuca sticks in batches, submerged in the hot oil until they turn golden brown and crispy, taking around 5 minutes.
9
Use a spoon to carefully remove the fried yuca from the oil and transfer it to a bowl lined with paper towels.
10
Sprinkle the crispy yuca sticks with salt, then serve immediately.
