Baked Yuca Fries - introducing Cultural Connections


To read more on how to make yuca fries please visit me over at Our Krazy Kitchen.
I was invited to join the great group of food bloggers at Our Krazy Kitchen. My friend Martha with Seaside Simplicity invited me to share Saturdays with her Kris and Joanne. I will be introducing Cultural Connections and will host every 3rd Saturday. Sometimes I will be re-posting older recipes from The Tiny Skillet, you all forgot about them any way...just breathing new life into them. Feel free to let me know what you think, and if you have anything you would like to see me explore! Enjoy!

    Have never every tried Yuca fries - although I lived in Colombia (1974 .. ) where I tasted yuca for the first time and discovered and loved yuca bread.
    I love the idea of recipes from all over the world!

    Kristy, my daughter thinks they're just good. My husband finishes the whole plate, have to watch him, he will eat them all.

    Oh, thank you Ann! So nice of you to say!

    Laura, I think they have yuca every way you would want it in Columbia. I'll have to try the yuca bread.

    Martha, thanks for making me feel so welcome!

    Fimère, they are irresistible, just ask my husband, he eats them all!

    Debbi, hope you get a chance to try them.

    Gloria, Thank you. I will try some other yuca recipes.

    I grew up in south Florida, and have always enjoyed yuca. There is no doubt that I would really enjoy these yuca fries.

    Yummm sooo good!!!! I deep-fry them ;) but I boil them the day before or just let them cool, then brown in high heat all over. (can't fry these in low heat because they are already cooekd they'll start falling apart.)

    I serve it with a "Mojo de Ajo".

    For my boyfriends birthday Im making this with "Chicharrones" and serving with "Moros" (steamed black beans and rice), and some salad and assortment of fresh fruit maybe flan.

    I like the idea of baking the yuca "frita." A healthy alternative. Thank you for your kind words on the blog. To answer your question...yes I find making my own breads, pasta, puff pastry very theraputic. I have a stressful Mon to Fri, so come the weekend, I must unwind.

    Have a great Sunday

    Cheers!

    Pj, and Bo, I have a list too...:)

    Velva, yes yuca is easy to find and easy to use, I'm sure you'd like them.

    Nathan, Sounds good. I know they are usually fried just wanted to try it, and we liked it. I'll have to try it with Mojo de Ajo".

    Rebecca, and Victor, thank you, I'm trying not to fry too many things!

    Gulmohar, thank you

    I love Yucca but I never make fries out of it. I will usually steam it and make dessert out of it.
