Yuca French Fries Recipe

Ingredients

2 pounds yuca

peeled

and cut into 4 inch sections

2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

salt to taste

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Place the yuca into a large pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat to medium-low cover and simmer until the yuca can be pierced easily with a fork 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and allow to steam for several minutes until cool enough to handle. Cut the yuca into french fry-sized sticks discarding the fibrous core.

Step 2

Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 3

Fry the yuca in batches until golden brown and crispy about 5 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain in a paper towel-lined bowl. Toss with salt to taste and serve hot.
