Preparation

Step 1

Cook yucca in boiling salted water for 30 minutes or until fork-tender. Dry thoroughly with paper towels, and spread on baking sheets to cool. Cut each into 1/4-inch-thick fries, and set aside.

Combine mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, lime juice, garlic, sea salt, and, if desired, cayenne pepper in a small bowl.

Pour oil to depth of 3 inches into a deep pan, and heat to 350°. Fry yucca, in 3 or 4 batches, 6 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels. Return oil to 350°, and fry yucca, in 3 or 4 batches, another 6 minutes or until crispy. Drain on paper towels, and season with additional salt, if desired. Serve with cilantro mayonnaise.
