If you can't find yuca near you, you can of course use potatoes. If you do, you'll want to squeeze out any extra liquid after grating.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs yuca, peeled, core removed, and grated
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Neutral oil, for frying
Directions
Combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan at medium heat.
When oil shimmers, drop quarter cups of yuca mixture in, leaving space between each one to spread.
Flatten each mound with the back of a spatula and cook for 2 minutes.
Flip and cook for another minute, or until nice and crispy.
Serve with applesauce and sour cream, or enjoy as-is.
