Method

Prepare Yuca Fries

Peel and Cut Yuca

Peel the yuca root and cut it into thick sticks, about 1/2 inch wide.

Boil Yuca

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the yuca sticks and boil for about 15-20 minutes until they are tender but not falling apart. Drain and let cool.

Heat Oil

In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

Fry Yuca

Carefully add the cooled yuca sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.

Prepare Garlic Aioli

Mix Ingredients

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix well until smooth.

Season

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust lemon juice for desired tanginess.
