Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Yuca

    Peel the yuca and cut it into chunks. Boil the yuca in salted water until tender, about 20-25 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mash the Yuca

    Drain the yuca and let it cool slightly. Mash it in a bowl until smooth, and then form into two patties.

  3. 3

    Fry the Patties

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the yuca patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving.
