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.
- Place yuca in a saucepan of cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium and simmer until just barely tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain yuca on a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool to room temperature.
- 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.

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:
- For the Southwest fry seasoning: In a small mixing bowl, combine the cumin, granulated garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, granulated sugar, superfine sugar, chili powder and pepper. Reserve.
- For the fries: Fill a large bowl with 8 cups water and the white vinegar. Add the yucca fries and soak for 30 minutes to remove the starch.
- Heat the canola oil in a Dutch oven to 300 degrees F.
- Bring 6 quarts water and the salt to a boil in a large stockpot. Add the yucca fries and cook until tender and almost translucent, about 6 minutes. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and place on a clean towel to drain; allow the yucca fries to cool.
- Divide the yucca fries into 3 batches. Place the first batch in the hot oil. Blanch for 2 minutes, remove from the oil and transfer to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess fat. Repeat with the remaining fries in 2 batches.
- Bring the canola oil up to 360 degrees F. Again working in 3 batches, fry the yucca fries until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining fries in 2 batches. Season the fries with the Southwest fry seasoning. Serve immediately.
