Steps:
- Cut the yuca crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Cut each piece into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick strips. Cut out the tough core from the inner edge of each piece; discard the core. Transfer the yuca to a large saucepan. Cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil. Cook until just soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Drain, and pat dry.
- Heat 5 inches oil in a 4-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat until it registers 360°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Fry the garlic until golden, about 1 minute. Discard the garlic. Working in batches of several strips, fry the yuca, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels using a slotted spoon; let drain. Sprinkle with salt. Serve with lemon wedges.

YUCCA FRIES WITH CHAMOY MAYO
At first I thought I'd use umeshiso paste to accompany this, but upon further research, I decided that chamoy would be better suited. This dish really benefits from the desiccating heat of an air fryer or convection oven.

Steps:
- Add the yucca to an electric pressure cooker/air fryer combo and sprinkle with salt. Pour in 1 cup water. Cover with the lid and bring to high pressure, then cook for 10 minutes. Release the pressure according to the manufacturer's directions and prepare the machine as directed for air-fryer cooking.
- Spray the yucca with cooking spray. Sprinkle liberally with salt, then top with the air fryer lid and cook at 390 degrees F until the exterior is golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, chamoy, lemon zest and black pepper to taste. This is your dipping sauce.
- Serve the fries with the chamoy mayo.

Steps:
- Make sauce:
- Pulse together sauce ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
- Fry yuca:
- If using fresh yuca, trim ends and cut crosswise into 3-inch pieces, then peel, removing waxy brown skin and pinkish layer underneath.
- Cover yuca (fresh or frozen) with cold salted water by 1 inch in a 4-quart pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until yuca is tender when pierced with a wooden skewer, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to several layers of paper towels to drain, then cool 5 minutes. Cut yuca lengthwise into 1/8-inch-wide wedges, discarding thin woody core. (If there are pieces that have white parts to them, return them to barely simmering water and simmer until almost translucent.)
- Heat about 1 1/2 inches oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until it registers 360°F on thermometer.
- Fry yuca in 3 batches, turning occasionally, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes per batch. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. (Return oil to 360°F between batches.) Sprinkle fries with salt and serve with cheese sauce.
YUCA FRITA (DEEP-FRIED YUCA)
Steps:
- Place the frozen yuca pieces in a large, deep pot. Cover with salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15 minutes at a low boil.
- Carefully remove yuca from the pot, and place the pieces on a large plate. Set aside to cool.
- When the yuca pieces are cool enough to handle, cut them into strips roughly the size of thick steak fries.
- Heat about 3 cups of oil in a deep pot or a wok to about 380 degrees. Carefully drop in the yuca pieces, a few at a time, and fry them until they are golden - about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel, sprinkle with salt, and serve immediately.
