In a pot, place 2 kg of yuca and fill with 2 cups of water.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil for approximately 30 minutes or until the yuca is soft.

Once soft, transfer the yuca to a bowl and mash it with a fork or a potato masher.

Add a bit of butter and 1 egg at room temperature to the mashed yuca.

Using gloves, mix the ingredients together until well combined.

Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and mix again with gloves until the dough is compact.

Check the salt and add more if necessary.

Grease your hands with a bit of oil to prevent sticking while handling the dough.

Shape the dough into small balls, filling them with mozzarella cheese or cheese of your choice.

In a pot with plenty of hot oil, add the yuca balls gradually.

Fry until golden brown, about a few minutes on each side.
