Most of must be curious to know more about this recipe and the term yuca. You must be aware of cassava flour, the yuca is the same as cassava flour because during processing the root is transformed into cassava flour as the moral of this discussion we can say that yuca fries can be named cassava fries.
The yuca has a thick waxy coating when I bought it from the market the purpose of the coating is to protect it because it is a brown, root vegetable, so to preserve the yuca it's necessary to coat it in the waxy layer, this waxy layer is not permanent, you can easily peel it off as you do peeling of potato.
