Yucca Fries with Chamoy Mayo image

At first I thought I'd use umeshiso paste to accompany this, but upon further research, I decided that chamoy would be better suited. This dish really benefits from the desiccating heat of an air fryer or convection oven.

Time 55m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 yucca roots, peeled and cut into 24 fat frites
Kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray, for the yucca
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chamoy seasoning sauce
1 lemon, zested
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the yucca to an electric pressure cooker/air fryer combo and sprinkle with salt. Pour in 1 cup water. Cover with the lid and bring to high pressure, then cook for 10 minutes. Release the pressure according to the manufacturer's directions and prepare the machine as directed for air-fryer cooking.
  • Spray the yucca with cooking spray. Sprinkle liberally with salt, then top with the air fryer lid and cook at 390 degrees F until the exterior is golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, chamoy, lemon zest and black pepper to taste. This is your dipping sauce.
  • Serve the fries with the chamoy mayo.
