Mashed Yuca is a rich, velvety alternative to traditional mashed potatoes, offering a taste of Caribbean and Latin American heritage with every bite. Made with tender yuca (cassava) simmered in a savory broth and blended with butter and milk, this dish is both hearty and comforting. The addition of chicken bouillon infuses it with deep, savory flavor, while optional toppings like cheddar cheese, chives, or parsley add a customizable finish.
Whether served alongside turkey or as a vegetarian-friendly side, this recipe is a delicious way to honor heritage and bring everyone together.
