Ingredients
- 2 large yuca (cassava) roots
- 4 cups of water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup of vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- 1Peel the yuca roots and cut them into thick fries (about 1/2 inch wide).
- 2In a large pot, bring the water and salt to a boil.
- 3Add the yuca fries to the boiling water and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.
- 4Drain the yuca fries and let them cool for a few minutes.
- 5While the yuca fries cool, heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pan over medium heat until shimmering.
- 6Once cool, pat the yuca fries dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This will help them become crispy during frying.
- 7Fry the yuca fries in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- 8Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fries to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 9Immediately sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper while they are still hot for added flavor.
- 10Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like spicy mayo or garlic aioli.
