Directions

  1. Peel most of the yuca, trimming off the tough end. Cut yuca in thirds. Stand each section on its end and carefully cut lengthwise into quarters.

  2. Place yuca in a saucepan of cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium and simmer until just barely tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain yuca on a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool to room temperature.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add yuca and fry until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Recipe Note

Thanks to their superior fiber content and lower glycemic index, these crispy yuca fries are often presented as a healthier alternative to fried potatoes, but you might find the roles reversed. They really are that good and do a great job of bridging the gap between regular fried potatoes and sweet potato fries. Serve with ketchup or any kind of aioli.
