If you have never tried yuca fries, you really need to try them.
We tried them for the first time at a Brazilian restaurant and we knew we had to start making them at home.
Yuca fries make a great side dish, often in place of a potato.
WHAT IS YUCA?
Yuca is the root of the cassava plant. The large roots are often the same shape and size as a sweet potato.

The yuca (cassava) is a root – we do not have it available at all our local stores, but we have been able to pick it up from Sobeys.
Yuca fries pair well with a lot of foods – we love having them with grilled meat.
Many people love to eat their yuca (cassava) fries with a dip made of an equal mix of ketchup and mayo.
I do not eat regular potatoes, so these yuca fries are another delicious side dish that I can enjoy.

I love when I try new foods and actually love them - it can be scary to try new things. Hope you enjoy these as much as we do.
