Best Yucca Fries With Mojo Mayo Recipes
YUCA FRITA CON MOJO
Who doesn't love something fried? That's how I first got turned on to yuca, now I cook it regularly. It's a starchy tuber, similar textured to that of a potato and is served with a lovely garlicky, orange dipping sauce. - Deeanna Dickey, Denver, Colorado

YUCCA FRIES WITH CHAMOY MAYO
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.

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.

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.
