Yuca Fries Recipe
Here is a favorite recipe from my childhood. Fried Yuca strips or cassava fries with a garlic aioli. These are very similar to potato french fries but have a creamier and sweeter flavor. You will love these!
Ingredients
- 1 lb frozen yuca (I like Goya brand frozen yuca)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 qts water
Oil for frying - I like canola or peanut oil
Instructions
- In a 4 qt. pot add water (about ¾ of the way up) and add the salt. Bring to a boil and add the yuca. Boil for about 20-30 minutes.
- Drain and allow to cool.
- Cut yuca lengthwise into strips.
- Fry in hot oil a few at a time until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towel and sprinkle with a little salt
- Serve with aioli or your favorite dip
