Steps:
- Cut off both ends of the yuca root. Then cut them into 3 to 4-inch rounds, depending on the length of the yuca.
- Make a shallow cut lengthwise into the skin of the yuca. Work your thumbs under one side of the cut. Once you're underneath the peel, you can work your thumbs down the length of the root, peeling the skin off.
- Stovetop: Bring to boil a pot with plenty of water and salt. Add the rounds to the boiling water. Cook for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let it cool.
- Instant Pot (pressure cooker): Place the yuca in the Instant Pot. Add water (enough to cover the yuca) and salt. Secure lid on the pot. Close the pressure-release valve. Select "Manual". Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. When the time is complete, use the quick release to depressurize. Drain and let it cool.
- Cut yuca pieces in half and remove the inner root. Then cut into fingers.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or cast iron with oil up to ½ inch over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Fry the yuca fries in batches, turning once, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon. Drain over paper towels.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the yucca and cook over medium-low heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let sit until the wedges are no longer steaming. Discard any stringy pieces.
- Meanwhile, combine the cilantro, turmeric, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
- Put the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 400 degrees F.
- Working in batches (don't crowd the pot), fry the yucca, flipping midway, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; add to the bowl with the cilantro mixture and toss. (You can also drain the fries on paper towels and sprinkle with the cilantro mixture.)
- Sprinkle the fries with lime juice and serve.

CRISPY YUCA FRIES
Thanks to their superior fiber content and lower glycemic index, these crispy yuca fries are often presented as a healthier alternative to fried potatoes, but you might find the roles reversed. They really are that good and do a great job of bridging the gap between regular fried potatoes and sweet potato fries. Serve with ketchup or any kind of aioli.

Steps:
- Peel most of the yuca, trimming off the tough end. Cut yuca in thirds. Stand each section on its end and carefully cut lengthwise into quarters.

- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add yuca and fry until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

YUCA FRENCH FRIES
Steps:
- Place the sliced yuca in a large pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes - the time can vary a great deal, because yuca can vary greatly in its woodiness. You want the yuca to still be a little firm - just tender enough to pierce it with a fork. Drain the yuca and place it on a cutting board to cool for a few minutes. When the yuca is cool enough to handle, cut it into 1/2-to-3/4-inch planks. (If there are any woody cores to the tubers, discard them.)
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or French fryer to 360°F, and fry the yuca. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with Sour Orange Mojo .
YUCCA FRIES (YUCA)
I love Yucca fries! I must have eaten a whole field full while in Costa Rica. If you are looking for something different, give yucca a try! You can also mix yucca fries with sweet potato fries (fried separately) for a great combination and beautiful plate. SERVE WITH: Cowboy Steaks With Onions Recipe #153370 . MAKE AHEAD: The boiled yucca can be refrigerated for up to 2 days before using for this recipe.

Steps:
- Boil yuca in a large pot of lightly salted water for 10 minutes. Add one cup of water to the pan and return to a boil. Continue to boil for about another 5 minutes, until tender. Drain and dry completely. Pull out all stingy fibers.
- In a deep-fryer or your usual stove-top pot you deep fry in, heat 2 inches of oil to 350°. Divide the yucca into 4 batches and fry until golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, carefully place the yucca on a paper towel covered plate or rack to drain. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve at once.
