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
add the yucca chunks to a medium pot and cover with water
season with a little salt
bring to a boil and let the yucca cook until partially cooked, to cooked all the way through**
drain all the water, and pat the cooked yucca dry with some paper towel
arrange the yucca in the oil
fry until golden brown
place the fried yuccas over paper towel to absorb some of the oil
season with salt to taste
Bom Apetite!!!
Notes
**if you cook them all the way through, make sure the yucca is still firm - you don't want them to be too cooked/dismantling as if for a puree, for example
