yuca fries
Fried cassava pieces
Yuca fries are sticks of cassava root, deep-fried like French fries.
The starchy tuber produces fries that are denser and slightly chewier than potato, with a mild, subtly sweet flavor.
Popular in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, they're typically served with garlic sauce or other dipping sauces: The Cuban place has amazing yuca fries.
