1

Place the cassava in a pan and cover it with water, adding salt.

2

Bring the water to a boil and cook the cassava until fork tender, about 20 to 40 minutes.

3

Remove the cassava from the water and split it down the center to remove the core fiber.

4

Mash the cassava using a fork or potato masher.

5

Season the mashed cassava with salt, black pepper, and 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese, mixing well.

6

Shape the cassava mixture into balls, optionally filling them with gruyere cheese.

7

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, at least half the height of the fritters.

8

Once the oil is hot, add the fritters and fry until golden brown, turning halfway through.

9

Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels.
