Yuca Fries Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Yuca
Peel the yuca (cassava) using a sharp knife. Cut it into 4-inch long sections, then slice each section into thin strips resembling fries.

Boil the Yuca
Place the yuca fries in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes until they are tender but not falling apart. Drain and let cool.

Fry the Yuca
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cooled yuca fries in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
