Yuca French Fries
Yuca fries are similar to French fries. You'll love this Latino version of an American favorite! Treat yuca just like you treat potatoes. Yuca can also be used to make a scrumptious alternative to home fries for breakfast.
yuca, peeled, and cut into 4-inch sections
2
pounds
vegetable oil for frying
2
quarts
salt to taste
 Gather all ingredients.
  Place yuca into a large pot; add water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until 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 yuca into French fry-sized sticks, discarding fibrous core.
  Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  Working in batches, fry yuca in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain in a paper towel-lined bowl.
  Season with salt and serve hot.
