for all the Brazilian people saying we eat this all the time, what we actually commonly consume is known as the cassava root! (essa sim é a mandioca/macaxeira 😉) they're very similar to yucca being both edible starchy roots, but they're actually very different plants! it seems that they're often mistaken for each other because some places tend to call Cassava 'Yuca' (just one c though), however both seem equally as delicious fried 😋
These r the beeest!!!!!!!!!! I would always be excited to go to the Peruvian chicken place near me to get them, but never knew how to make them! This is so exciting!!!!!!!!!
It’s a staple root crop in the south pacific eaten like rice or Potatoes .... mostly for lunch or dinner left overs are then fried like these actually just had it for lunch with fried eggs and onions scotch bonet awesome stuff we call it cassava
@@CsykKrit yeah I know, that's just how we called it in here. It's interesting how a dish have multiple names around the world and different ways to eat it
In El Salvador we have a pickled cabbage jalapeño radish mix we call Curtido and these tiny little fish we fry by the hundreds called Chimbolos, throw all that ontop of yuca fries and some lime 😮😮 Papa u gotta try
Try adding the salt to the simmer process. You can get real bougie with it and mash them, add a little coconut milk then roll them into snakes like gnocchi pasta, then cut them into 3 inch portions to fry up. I am literally recreating my favorite Pollo Campero meal tonight and making yuca fries and charro beans right now.
I made those today 🤣 with a baked wings recipe I made up. So yummyyyy especially when you learn to time the boiling step just right so that it’s soft all the way through but not yet falling apart so when you fry it it’s exactly like a chunky french fry with a crisp texture outside and a tender mashed-potato inside
I love these I get them at a Cuban restaurant except the ones there are thinner... if you’ve never had them, definitely try them with mojo, the flavors work really well together
Cassava, which is also known as yuca, is not interchangeable with yucca. The plants belong to different plant families: cassava belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family, while yucca belongs to the Asparagaceae.
I worked in a supermarket in Massachusetts. We get them at certain times of the year here in the USA. But first time I tried it I went to Puerto Rico for vacation and there was a restaurant called Pollo Tropicana. It's a big chain restaurant like KFC or Chic fil a. But they only sold Yucca as the fries..... And I think it's better than regular potato fries. It has a special taste to I cannot describe
In Venezuela, McDonalds started to sell yucca fries instead of potato fries for some time (i dont know if it stills that way, i haven't eaten in McDonalds in maybe 3 or 4 years, too expensive for the amount of food they serve, just dont worth it). I think the reason behind the yucca fries was to offer a cheaper product in order to increase sales (McDonalds is very dead here, most of their restaurants in my area have been sold, and I suppose is the same in the rest of the country).
In my family, whenever we make fried yucca, when we simmer it together with minced garlic and a bit of salt so no need to sprinkle extra salt. We also grated some uncooked yucca and use it to make chili sauce
In Indonesia we actually steam them and while steaming, we add seasonings like salt and coriander. then fry it! it's so good and tender and a flavourbomb tbh.
You should try letting them sit in water and washing them a few times to get the starch out, I’ve never had it before but that’s what we do with potatoes in my house :D

Nope, u wanna know secret? After u simmer/steamed(better) you put them in cold/ice water work best, this makes them really Crunchy af having that cracked feeling in the cassava, and before you fry it, put them season like minced garlic and salt, trust me Works best when you have really soft cassava, when you cook it that way, let me know
What’s funny is that in Brazil this has like 3 diferentes names depending on the region. For example in central Brazil it’s called “mandioca” and in northern Brazil it’s called “bacaxeira”🇧🇷
Is this like cassava or something? It looks like that. Anyway, in my country, we eat with salted fish (sounds disgusting but nice) wt bird eye chili and abit of lime juice. Nowadays, they tend to eat with condensed milk. It used to be our staple of food during the war.
Mandioca is a plant native from South America, a root which have a large varieties of cuisine variations, sweet to salty dishes. Here in Brazil we have "Pão de queijo", "biju" and "tapioca" are some examples. :)
There's a small Cuban joint in East Tampa that has picadillo-stuffed yucca logs that are breaded and fried. How they make them I have no clue but man are they amazing!
I boil them then finely grate them. Mix with a white fine grated frying cheese and press them into a tight puck or roll. Deep fry and make a syrup with cinnamon sticks and whole clove to eat them with.
Boil the yucca frist, after you cut them, theb fry. Just like fluffy rench fries. Also, don't pick old yucca. They don't fluff as well a young one, then you get a tough fried yucca.
ohh my mom makes these but instead of salt we use sugar, she gives it to us as a treat!!
ohhh a little dessert yucca?!
@@SenpaiKai9000 yes!! oh man now i gotta try them with salt!
@@inosuchan9384 surprise yo mama!
@@SenpaiKai9000 yo mama!

A wise man once said, “you double fry them and salt the *shit* out of them.”
always more salt (:
Framed this in my kitchen
Yeah, but he’s completely right. Its not very good if you dont use alotta salt
And you watch as little tiny *turds* leak out of the fried.....
Oh oh Brazil we eat this all the time! Pretty much as much or more than potato fries depending on the region. Absolutely love this!
Yeah I’m Brazilian to these are fire with picanha
I'm caribean i had no Idea brazilians ate these lol
@@cannedtuna6114 we eat it a lot! Way better than french fries, we also eat it with butter and salt after boiling it ❤
In brazil this is called "mandioca,aipim or macaxeira" and it's sooooo good fried
Feijoada, mandioca frita e açaí de sobremesa. Melhor almoço q eu já tive papo.
Eu sabia, mandioca é o melhor ingrediente do mundo, chocolate com mandioca é bom
Macaxeira frita e tambaqui, melhor almoço de domingo
Angola posso confirmar isso e a comida dos deuses
Aipim frito é muito gostoso pqp

Lo que se hace aqui en panama es que en ves de freirlas en aceite se pasan en una sarten con mantequilla y para mi gusto quedan mejor
They are delicious
in Indonesia,yucca fries is a common food that you can find it while you driving at home. seriously,yucca fries with some cheese powder is the best
Ohh. It's cassava. Here in Philippines we call it kasaba/kamoteng kahoy. We just steam it and once its tender we dip it in sugar.
Aaahh yes a dish from my country

They make awesome tots. Yucca tots!
Me: "Ooo, those look good."
Also me: "Wtf is a Yucca..?"
Is the root of a plant
@@tonym4953 I think its similar to cassava..does have the cassava look tho
@@plantainman7664 it is the same cassava family, maybe a different kind from different region
There are similar ones but they all taste and are functionally the same for the most part
Oooh that looks good!!! Just discovered yucca, actually. Boy was I missing out! 😉
my family planted a lot of these plants in the fields and in the backyard.
Só pode ser BR mesmo
This is sooooo good...
Can you try some Indian recipes??😊

We make cassava pone here in Trinidad too. Yum yum

Is this like fried cassava?
yup, yucca is cassava!
Damn fam I never knew that cassava had another name lmao
Ropa vieja and yucca🤤!
Is that cassava/tapioca?
Bro yucca fried is so fricking good.
I honestly prefer yuca boiled in salted water with some butter and a fried egg on top. Or in soup/stews.
Yucca fries with Cubanos
Good lord that's hearty

Thinly slice and fry! They make great chips.

Just a heads up its yuca (aka cassava) not yucca. Yucca is a totally different plant with an inedible root.
Nope, u wanna know secret? After u simmer/steamed(better) you put them in cold/ice water work best, this makes them really Crunchy af having that cracked feeling in the cassava, and before you fry it, put them season like minced garlic and salt, trust me

Damn, that is actually a cultural dish from where I am from, in Amazonas (Brazil) we call that "Macaxeira Frita" and we absolutely love it
My grandma gives me this except she just boils it and skips the frying part, still not that bad
You can top them with fresh grated coconut and palm sugar if you're looking to jazz them up a bit
Here in my place, you don't cut them into sticks, just fry the whole thing and enjoy :)
Boil the yucca frist, after you cut them, theb fry. Just like fluffy rench fries. Also, don't pick old yucca. They don't fluff as well a young one, then you get a tough fried yucca.
Here in Brazil that thing is caled mandioca or macaxeira or aipim
