Ingredients

Parsley-Cilantro Aioli

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons packed fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons packed fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped

Yuca Fries

  • 2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 bag (18 oz) frozen peeled yuca (cassava), thawed, cut into 3x1/2-inch pieces (French fry-size)
  • Salt, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    In food processor, place Parsley-Cilantro Aioli ingredients. Cover; process. Refrigerate.
  • 2
    In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat to 375°F. In batches of 10, fry yuca pieces 1 to 3 minutes, stirring carefully to keep fries from sticking together. (Fries will turn from white to yellow but will not turn golden.) Serve warm with aioli.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    If there is fresh yuca in the grocery store, it has to be peeled, blanched and cut before frying.
  • tip 2
    Serve with your favorite meat and a mixed green salad.
