Steps:
- Cocina la yuca en una cacerola con agua hirviendo de 25 a 30 min. o hasta que se ablande; escúrrela. Muélela; ponla en un tazón mediano. Agrega el queso, la harina, el polvo para hornear y la yema; mézclalos bien.
- Bate la clara en un tazón pequeño utilizando la batidora a velocidad alta hasta formar picos duros (punto de merengue). Incorpora con cuidado a la mezcla de yuca. Divídela en 24 porciones; forma cada una en un leño. Haz rodar un leño a la vez en las migajas de galleta para recubrirlos de forma pareja.
- Calienta el aceite en una cacerola mediana a 375ºF. Mientras tanto, mezcla bien la mayonesa y el ajo.
- Agrega los leños de yuca por tandas en el aceite ya caliente; cocínalos 4 min. o hasta que queden bien dorados. Sácalos del aceite con una cuchara ranurada y escúrrelos en toallas de papel. Sírvelos calientes con la salsa de mayonesa y ajo.

TORTILLA DE YUCA
Steps:
- Place the peeled and quartered yuca in a pot and cover it with at least 2 quarts water. Cook over high heat until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the yuca in a colander for 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer and add the butter, 1/4 cup of the oil and salt to taste. Mix on medium speed until well incorporated, about 3 minutes. Refrigerate until cool, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Shape the yuca dough into eight 4-ounce balls. Make a hole in one of the balls with your finger and stuff it with a tablespoon of the mozzarella. Flatten it into a thick patty (a tortilla). Repeat with the remaining balls.
- Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 4 yuca patties and cook until light golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining patties, adding more oil as necessary. Top the tortillas with the Ensalada Criolla.
- Combine the tomatoes, onion and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cilantro, lime juice and salt to taste and toss. Yield: 8 servings
YUCA CON MOJO
Yuca is among the most commonly eaten viandas - the local word for starchy fruits and vegetables, such as plantain and taro - in Puerto Rico. It is the root of the cassava, an extraordinarily resilient plant that was the principal food of the Indigenous Taínos of the island. Among its many preparations, this is my favorite: boiled yuca doused in a garlicky citrus mojo dressing, my grandmother's recipe. She never wrote it down, but my mother had it deep in her memory, and we cooked it together for this version you see here. The mojo will keep for several weeks in the fridge, and is also delicious on crispy fried tostones, roasted vegetables and fish.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Prepare the yuca: Fill a large bowl with water. Peel the yuca with a sharp peeler or paring knife, then chop it into 2-inch pieces, tossing them in the bowl of water as you go to avoid discoloration.
- Make the mojo: Bring olive oil to a simmer in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stirring well to incorporate. Cook until the onions are translucent and soft, stirring often and being careful not to let the onions brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and add vinegar, and add salt to taste.
- Once water is at a rolling boil, add 1/4 cup salt, then carefully add yuca. Boil for 20 to 30 minutes, until a sharp knife goes through easily, careful not to let yuca overcook and become mushy.
- Drain yuca and transfer to a serving dish. Pour over warm mojo and serve.
