Ingredients

2 Yuccas

Oil for frying

1 pinch of Salt

Sugar

Preparation

Step 1 : Wash the yuccas, cut them into medium-sized pieces, peel them, and boil them in salted water until they soften.

Step 2 : Once ready, drain them and remove the tough stem from the center.

Step 3 : Then, cut them into pieces of similar thickness.

Step 4 : Heat oil in a pan and, when hot, add the yuccas to fry until golden brown.

Step 5 : It is recommended to fry the yuccas in batches to prevent them from sticking and getting damaged.

Step 6 : Once fried, place them on paper towels to remove excess grease and repeat the process with the remaining yuccas.

Step 7 : For serving, yuccas can be served in two different ways: sprinkled with sugar for a sweet garnish, or sprinkled with salt and accompanied by a mojo or light vinaigrette for a different flavor.

Step 8 : Some people also enjoy them with more elaborate sauces, but that choice is up to the diner.
