Method

Preparing Yuca Fries

  1. 1

    Peel and Cut Yuca

    Peel the yuca using a vegetable peeler, removing the tough outer skin. Cut the yuca into fries, about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Boil Yuca

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cut yuca and boil for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.

  3. 3

    Season Yuca

    Once cooled, toss the boiled yuca with chicken seasoning until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Fry Yuca

    In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C). Fry the yuca in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Making Avocado Aioli

  1. 5

    Prepare Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine ripe avocado, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic, and salt.

  2. 6

    Blend

    Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 7

    Garnish Yuca Fries

    Once the yuca fries are fried and crispy, transfer to a serving platter. Crumble queso fresco on top, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sliced scallions.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the yuca fries hot with the avocado aioli on the side for dipping.
