Garlic Cassava Fries

• 4 large garlic cloves
• 3 lbs yucca root (cassava)
• 1 sprig fresh thyme
• 2 quarts water, combined with
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 12 cup sunflower oil or 12 cup other vegetable oil
• 1 cup corn oil

1. Combine the garlic, thyme and oil.
2. Set aside.
3. Peel the yucca and cut it in "steak fry" strips (about 1 inch wide).
4. Yucca can be hard to cut, but I've found a cleaver makes this part go faster.
5. Boil the salted water in a large soup pot, add the yucca, and cook for 30 minutes.
6. Do not overcook; the yucca should have a firm texture.
7. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
8. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet.
9. Saute the yucca until golden brown.
10. Drain on paper towels.
11. Arrange the strips on a platter, and pour the garlic oil over the "fries".
