Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Peel the yuca root and cut it into long strips, about 1/2 inch thick. Rinse the strips in cold water to remove excess starch.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add a few strips of yuca to the pan and fry until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle the fries with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
4
Serve the mandioca frita hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and a slice of lime. You can also serve it with a side of salsa or guacamole for added flavor.
