What each ingredient does
- Yucca
- Its starch softens when boiled, then crisps and browns on the outside when fried.
- Oil
- Conducts heat to cook the slices evenly and browns the surface.
The step that matters
Fry the slices in hot oil until golden brown. Hot oil quickly sets the surface and drives off moisture, so the slices crisp and brown instead of absorbing excess oil and turning greasy. Browning comes from surface sugars and starches reacting with heat.
