Preheat the oven to 250 F. Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a deep-fat fryer or frying pan to 375 F. over medium-high heat, or until a yuca shaving sizzles when it touches the oil. Drain the yuca, pat dry with paper towels, being careful not to break the shavings, and fry 6 to 8 shavings at a time, turning them with a slotted spoon, until golden brown, and keep hot on a paper-towel-lined platter in the oven. Do not fry too many shavings at once, or the oil temperature will fall and the shavings will be soggy rather than crisp. Place in a serving bowl, sprinkle liberally with salt, and serve hot, accompanied by the Mojo for dipping or fresh lime juice for sprinkling. |
