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.

Steps:
- Start making making the Green Sauce. Combine lettuce, mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, peppers, garlic, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth. Put into a serving dish.
- Next, we fry the yucca. Peel the yucca with a knife and throw away the hard skin. Cut the flesh into 1/2 inch thin strips about 4 inches long. Heat a large iron skillet or nonstick frying pan to medium high heat with about half your oil. I like grape seed oil because it gives a nice crispness to the yucca and it's healthy. Reserve the remaining oil for the 2nd half of your yucca. Organize the yucca in the frying pan into a single layer. fry half the yucca until light golden brown and then flip it over to fry on the other side. Remove when it's golden brown on both sides and place onto a paper towel to drain. Cook the 2nd batch the same way.
- Serve the yucca on a plate, and give each person a small bowl or cup of the green sauce for them to dip their yucca into.

BOLITAS DE YUCA Y QUESO (FRIED YUCA BALLS STUFFED WITH CHEESE)
Yuca, also known as cassava, is a root vegetable used around the world to make many beloved regional dishes as well as flour, tapioca and even laundry starch. It is similar to the potato, but it is harder, has a thicker brown skin and has a tough fiber running through its center. It often has a subtly floral, lightly sweet taste. Here, yuca is boiled, mixed with loads of mozzarella, then fried until golden brown to make bolitas de yuca y queso, a popular dish in Latin America that is also known as yuquitas rellenas or bollitos de yuca. The crunchy panko coating complements the creamy, melty center. For this particular recipe, fresh yuca works best. Frozen yuca retains too much water and could make the bolitas too mushy to hold their shape.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Trim the ends of the yuca and peel thoroughly (see Tip). Cut yuca in half crosswise, then quarter each piece lengthwise. (Do your best to make them the same size to ensure even cooking.)
- Add yuca to boiling water and cook until fork tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain yuca, then transfer to a large bowl. Using a fork, remove and discard any hard fibers at the center of each piece. While the yuca is still hot, mash it using a large fork or potato masher until mostly smooth (a few chunks are O.K.). Set aside and cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
- Add cheese, heavy cream, 1 beaten egg and salt, and mix until well combined. Wetting your hands as necessary to prevent sticking, scoop out about 1/4 cup yuca mixture (it will be soft and sticky) and roll between your palms into golf-ball-size rounds. You should have about 16 balls.
- Separate the flour, panko and the remaining 3 eggs into three shallow containers. Lightly beat the eggs. Working in batches of 2 to 3 balls, dredge each ball in the flour, then the egg, then the panko, making sure it is well coated with each one. Transfer to a large plate and prepare the rest of the balls.
- In a large skillet, heat 1/4-inch vegetable oil over medium-high. (The oil is ready when a pinch of flour sizzles when added to the pan.) Transfer half the yuca balls to the pan and fry, rotating frequently, until golden brown all over, 4 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer yuca balls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining yuca balls and serve immediately.
