Yucca Root Fries

1. Before you begin: If you are using a fryer, you can make sure it is all set up now, and heating up. If you are frying in a pan, just add the oil to the pan and leave it over low heat, just so it warms up, but not too hot to get to temperature too fast – I highly recommend you use a thermometer to help you maintain the temp at 350F
2. add the yucca chunks to a medium pot and cover with water
3. season with a little salt
4. bring to a boil and let the yucca cook until partially cooked, to cooked all the way through**
5. drain all the water, and pat the cooked yucca dry with some paper towel
6. arrange the yucca in the oil
7. fry until golden brown
8. place the fried yuccas over paper towel to absorb some of the oil
9. season with salt to taste

Bom Apetite!!!
