Yucca Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Yucca

    Peel the yucca and cut it into thick strips resembling fries.

  2. 2

    Boil the Yucca

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the yucca strips and cook for about 15-20 minutes until they are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it's hot.

  4. 4

    Fry the Yucca

    Carefully add the boiled yucca strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    Remove the fried yucca fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with sorrel jam or onion jam on the side.
