1 lb of yucca
3 cups of oil

TIP: If yucca is cold, place them in a bowl with tap hot water for a few minutes. Peels comes off easier
Remove bark from yucca with a knife. Cut in half and remove the thick fiber found in the center of the yucca.
Cut the yucca in chunks, Julienne style or strips
In a pot, add water, enough to cover yucca and boil until tender. Remove from pot and remove excessive water. Make sure yucca is dry to prevent oil splatter
In a deep skillet or pot, heat oil and fry the yucca until light golden
Place yucca on paper towels to drain the excess oil
