Yucca Fries With Southwest Fry Seasoning Recipes

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:

• In medium Dutch oven heat oil to 350 degrees F.
• Place all spices in mixing bowl, and combine thoroughly.
• Peel yucca tubes with heavy-duty vegetable peeler until bark is completely removed. Cut yucca into strips: 1/4-inch wide, 4 inches long. Add yucca into oil and fry until golden brown. With a slotted spoon remove the yucca from the oil and drain on paper towels.
• Season hot yucca fries with spice mixture and lime zest and serve on a warm paper-towel-lined platter.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the yucca and cook over medium-low heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let sit until the wedges are no longer steaming. Discard any stringy pieces.
• Meanwhile, combine the cilantro, turmeric, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Put the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 400 degrees F.
• Working in batches (don't crowd the pot), fry the yucca, flipping midway, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; add to the bowl with the cilantro mixture and toss. (You can also drain the fries on paper towels and sprinkle with the cilantro mixture.)
• Sprinkle the fries with lime juice and serve.
