Ingredients

1 small yucca root or 1medium yucca root (yuca)

2-3 tablespoons butter (1 knob)

salt, to taste

Directions

1 Skin the yuca using a potato peeler or a knife.

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

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.

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

5 Cut the half chunks into smaller fry-shaped pieces.

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 Add salt and dip in ketchup.
