Ingredients
- 1 pound cassava yuca), peeled, aka yuca
- 1 teaspoon salt (plus coarse salt to sprinkle later)
- 3 cups cooking oil peanut, or corn or canola oil, for frying
Instructions
1. Cutting the yca
- Cut the yuca into French-fries-sized sticks.
2. Soak
- Place the yuca in a large bowl, and pour enough water to cover it (about 1½ quarts of water [1.5 liters]). Add the 2 teaspoons of salt. Stir to dissolve the salt, and let it rest for half an hour. Drain the water. Pat the yuca dry with a paper towel.
3. Fry
- To fry the yuca, heat the oil over medium-high heat in a small pan or saucepan (so there's enough oil to deep-fry the yuca). Fry the yuca sticks in small batches until they turn golden brown (be careful with splatters). Rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
4. Serve
- Sprinkle with salt, and serve right away.
