1 lb yuca
Salt
2 beaten eggs
½ cup bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
Cook the yuca in a large pot with salted water over medium heat for about 15 minutes or until fork tender.
Drain the yuca and remove any fibers from the center. Transfer to a large bowl and mash.
Place the eggs in a bowl. Place the bread crumbs in another bowl.
Form the croquetas using your hands. The shape should be as a small cylinder (see picture)
Dip the formed croquetas into the beaten eggs covering all sides, and then cover them with bread crumbs.
Fill a large skillet with oil and heat over medium-high heat to 350°F.
Place the croquetas into heated oil and fry for 4 minutes or until brown on all sides, turning over once about halfway through.
Remove from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Serve with lime wedges and salsa aji or your favorite dipping sauce.
