Fried Yucca (Cassava) Costa Rican Style

1. 1

   Skin the yuca using a potato peeler or a knife.

2. 2

   Cut the yuca into 2-3 inch chunks and then cut those chunks in half.

3. 3

   Boil the yuca until it is just soft enough to poke with a fork. Don't over boil or let it sit in the hot water or it will become to soft and wont fry.

   There is a very indigestible stringy part in the middle, be sure to take that out if its visible.

5. 5

   Cut the half chunks into smaller fry-shaped pieces.

6. 6

   Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the yuca and fry on medium or medium-low heat, turning occasionally until they are browned to your liking.

7. 7

   Add salt and dip in ketchup.
