    I believe there is a disconnect here between the traditionalists and this recipe. Guy instructs to slice to 1/4 inch and fry, whereas traditionally the slices are pretty thick. If you boil a thin 1/4 inch slice for 20 mins as per the traditionalists, you will get mush. A nice thick slice will not have this problem. I read the reviews and decided to boil for "around 20 mins" or so using thick slices. 1/2 - 3/4 inch. I timed it to where it seemed not quite done for a boiled potato. Still firm enough to hold up to being fried. Turned out great!!!!

    so, i just tried boil vesus no boil. both are good, but boiling them gave the fries a lighter, less-dense texture. i like fries that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

    To the ones who wanted them boiled-forget it! These are fried. (and I have had them both ways You DON'T boil them first if you are going to fry them!
    Even better are to slice them like potato chips (thin and fry them. Delicious.

    I am suprised he did not boil them ahead of time. I am from Miami where yucca is as ubiquitous as humidtity. I have never not boiled them nor seen it done. I was shown to cut out the center "vein" also. His yucca looked good but I wonder how the texture/taste was? BOIL the yucca and this is a good recipe.

    This receipe is great. However, Guy failed to mention you need to BOIL the yucca before hand. My boyfriend is from Brasil and he told me to boil. I argued and said no... he was right.

    I tried it as in the recipe and it was just great. No need to precook, and just your ordinary veggie peeler was fine. I also cut thin slices and they made great chips.

    The recipe is great....however.Guy I'm surprised you did not peel the Yucca...it is easily done if you slightly slice the skin then use a knife to lift the skin....also the middle of the Yucca has a heavy strand that is inedible so don't use the middle. I personally fried, smashed and refried the Yucca making tostones! The chicken recipe was GREAT!

    Yucca fries are fabulous, this recipe is not! My attempt last night was a nightmare. Guy failed to tell us that the yucca should have been boiled for 20 mins prior to frying. Thankfully I bought two and will attempt it again.

    Can you please tell me how to peel yuccas safely and easily? It looks so hard. Guy says to use a heavy peeler? I only have regular peelers, can you peel it with a knife? I have not made them yet, but rated it high cause I love Yuccas
