Thanks to their superior fiber content and lower glycemic index these crispy yuca fries are often touted as a healthier alternative to fried potatoes but you’ll find that the tables may be turned. They really are that tasty and do a great job of bridging the gap between regular fried potatoes and sweet potato fries. Serve with ketchup or another kind of aioli.

Crispy Yuca Fries (Fried Cassava) – Food Wishes

1 yuca (cassava) root

Peel most of the yuca and cut off the hard end. Cut the yuca into thirds. Place each piece on its side and carefully cut lengthwise into quarters.

Place the yuca in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium and simmer until just tender 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the yuca on a plate lined with paper towels. Let cool to room temperature.
