Yuca Tots

Ingredients

  • 2 medium yuca roots peeled and chopped into 3 inch sections
  • 1 tablespoon arrow root powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp all purpose herb seasoning
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup duck fat

Instructions

  • Place the yuca chunks in a large pot and cover with two inches of water. Bring to a boil and cook until the yuca is fork tender, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Drain the yuca and cool. Cut the pieces in half and remove the small root that runs down the center.
  • Using a food processor, grate the yuca. Add to a mixing bowl along with the arrow root powder, herb seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  • Take about a tablespoon of the mixture and form into a ball. Repeat until the mixture is used up.
  • Heat the duck fat over medium high heat in a small cast iron skillet. Working in batches, fry the yuca tots and each side until golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels and enjoy!
