Yuca Fries
If you haven’t had yuca fries by now in your life, you are missing out. They are served all over South American countries as a side with just about every dish. The easiest way to prepare them is to buy frozen yuca. The yuca gets boiled, cut into fries, then fried. I like to pan fry my yuca fries instead of deep frying; lots less oil being wasted.
Ingredients
- 1 lb frozen yuca
- vegetable oil for frying
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the frozen yuca. Was boiling, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Drain, then dry on paper towel. Cut the yuca into fries.
- Heat up 1/2” of vegetable oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add in the yuca fries in a single layer. Fry for 4 minutes a side. Drain grease on a wire rack.
