Yucca Fries With Southwest Fry Seasoning Recipes

CRISPY YUCCA HASH

Steps:

• Peel the yucca and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Simmer and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.
• Set a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and fry the yucca until crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season with salt. Add the peppers, garlic and onions to the pan and saute until well caramelized, 7 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the corn, peas and crispy fried yucca back into the pan and heat through. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. Toss to combine everything and serve hot.

SCRATCH-MADE FRIES WITH CHORIZO POUTINE

Steps:

• For the fries: Wash and scrub the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch slices, and then slice into 1/4-inch sticks. Fill a large bowl with water and the vinegar and soak the potatoes for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
• For the chorizo poutine: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic, onions, carrot, celery and 1 teaspoon salt and saute until the onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and saute, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until well browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the flour and stir well, cooking the mixture until the flour is completely incorporated. Deglaze with the beef stock, then add the hot sauce, Worcestershire and dry mustard and stir well until combined. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, cooking until the sauce thickens, 30 to 35 minutes. Season with salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, keep warm and set aside.
• Cook the fries: Preheat 3 to 4 inches of canola oil in a Dutch oven to 300 degrees F. Working in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, add handfuls of potatoes to the oil. Blanch the potatoes until just lightly golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the potatoes, shake off excess oil and let drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Allow to cool. Once all the fried have been blanched, raise the temperature of the oil to 350 degrees F. Working in batches again, cook the fries until golden brown and very crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the fries from the oil, drain and season with salt.
• To serve, place half of the fries on a large serving platter. Sprinkle the cheese curds over the top, and spoon the hot chorizo gravy over the fries. Repeat with a second layer of each, finishing with a garnish of sliced scallions.

YUCCA FRIES

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.

YUCCA FRIES WITH CHAMOY MAYO

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.
