So over here in Germany i see more and more restaurants offering yuca fries.

What is Yuca?
Yuca (sometimes called Cassava) is a root vegetable similar to the potato with a waxy outer skin and a starchy center. It is native to South and Central America and used quite widely in Latin cooking. Yuca is similar in shape to a sweet potato and can be found in the produce aisle. Although it’s similar to sweet potatoes and yams, it has a bark-like skin that you have to remove… which can be intimidating but we’ll tackle that together!

French fries, I think need no explanation.

And the last contender (which I totally forgot and added in the last second lol)

Sweet potato fries:

So which ones do you guys prefer? The “new” contender yucca the sweet ones or the regular basic French fries?

Yesterday I’ve eaten some damn amazing yuca / yucca fries and they’ve been 10/10 delicious.
So I’m not sure what to vote as they’ve been so good

Fight!

Sweet potato is better than regular potato in every way

It's lower on the glycemic index too.

Yuca and sweet potato are good in certain dishes, but they aren’t competitive with the potato and never will be. They lack the versatility.

Objectively wrong

 

[J-Roderton]

I'd try it. Sure.

 

[Cunth]

everyone triggered by my sweet potato statement is an sjw

 

[ThatStupidLion]

throw any food at me and I can do it.

 

[ResilientBanana]

I'd hit it.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I’ll eat anything that’s fried. So yeah, why not yuca

 

[livestOne]

sweet potato fries could be goat, but I cant pound em by the handful like regular old potato fries, I need a good sauce spicy/tangy to cut how sweet they are.

 

[iconmaster]

I'd try them but there's little hope of competing with the French fry. Even sliced bread fears for its "greatest thing" status when confronted with those golden spears.

I’m surprised Germany has Yucca fries.

 

[Uhtred]

I would't say love, but they are tolerable.

I’m surprised Germany has Yucca fries.

Why not? We have all kinds of shit over here. Like years ago you could have bought them over only in Peruvian/Chilean restaurants. Like a couple of weeks ago I saw them in a supermarket. Haven’t made them myself but they’re mighty delicious at the restaurants where I ate them.

I was watching a travel vlog and they have vegan German sausage stands now.

Would if Taco Bell kept their fries around year round? Would turn the world upside down
