Grate the yuca using the smallest side of a 4-square grater for a fine consistency.

Add 2 eggs to the grated yuca.

Add 1 teaspoon of butter to the mixture.

Add finely chopped onion, habanero pepper, parsley, garlic, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the mixture.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Take one scoop of the mixture and shape it into a fritter in your hand.

In a skillet, heat 1/2 cup of oil to about 300 degrees on medium heat.

Add the fritters to the skillet one at a time to prevent sticking.

Cook the fritters for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side until they are nice and golden brown.

Once done, remove the fritters and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
