📝 Ingredients

• 1 lb yuca ((cassava root))
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Salt to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Make sure you find yuca that is the same size all around so the chip slices are even in size.
2. 2Peel the yuca completely until you see the white flesh. Be careful since the flesh can be slippery. You may need to use a paper towel to hold it as you are peeling it for a better grip.
3. 3Cut the peeled yuca in half so it’s easier to slice and place in cold water to avoid browning.
4. 4Using a mandoline, slice the yuca into even paper thin slices (about 1/8-inch thick) then lay them on paper towels to dry. You want them to be as dry as possible before frying.
5. 5In a large skillet, heat 1-2 inches of oil at medium heat (350ºF). Fry the yuca slices in batches (don’t overcrowd the pan) for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towel lined plates and immediately season with salt. Serve and enjoy!
