- 1 ½ lb cooked and mashed yuca or cassava
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Melado
Form small balls with the mashed yuca using your hands and place on a plate.
Fill a large skillet with oil, deep enough to cover the entire ball and heat over medium-high heat.
Carefully add the yuca balls to the oil and fry them for about 4 to 5 minutes or until golden on all sides, turning over once about halfway through.
Remove from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the oil.
Place on a serving plate and pour the melado over the yuca balls.
