Method
Preparation
Prepare the Yuca
Peel the yuca and cut it into thick fry shapes. Rinse the cut yuca under cold water to remove excess starch.
Boil the Yuca
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the yuca fries and cook for about 15-20 minutes until they are tender. Drain and let them cool.
Frying
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
Fry the Yuca
Carefully add the cooled yuca fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Season and Serve
Sprinkle the hot yuca fries with salt and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
