Method
Preparing the Yuca
Peeling and Cutting the Yuca
Begin by peeling the yuca root with a vegetable peeler. Cut the yuca into 3-4 inch long sections and then slice each section into quarters lengthwise to create fry-shaped pieces.
Frying the Yuca
Heating the Oil
In a large, deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Frying the Yuca
Carefully add the boiled yuca pieces to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Seasoning the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat.
Preparing the Dipping Sauce (Optional)
Mixing the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, and chili sauce. Mix until smooth and well incorporated. Adjust seasoning with more lime juice or chili sauce if desired.
