Fried Yuca With Bacon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Yuca

   Peel the yuca and cut it into thick slices or chunks. Rinse the pieces under cold water.

2. 2

   Boil the Yuca

   In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the yuca pieces and cook for about 20-25 minutes or until they are tender. Drain and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon.

4. 4

   Fry the Yuca

   In the same skillet with the bacon drippings (add vegetable oil if needed), heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the yuca pieces and fry until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5

   Season and Serve

   Sprinkle the fried yuca with salt and pepper, then mix in the crumbled bacon. Serve hot as a delicious snack or side dish.
