Cheese fried cassava has many fans because of its savory taste and crunchy texture. However, many do not know how to make it properly so the results are less crispy, bland, and not crispy. If you often fail to make cheese fried cassava, try imitating the trick shared by netizens on the YouTube account Keluarga Fadhilah. Curious about the trick?
Peel, wash, and cut the cassava first. The netizen who is familiarly called Fadhilah also explained that it is better to choose quality cassava, so that the results can be easily cracked and fail-proof. Next, soak the cassava pieces in room temperature water for 10 minutes.

After soaking, the cassava can be drained first. While waiting until the cassava is no longer watery, prepare a lot of oil in a pan and heat it over medium heat. When the oil is really hot, immediately fry the cassava pieces.
"Fry until the center of the cassava opens a little like this, then we can immediately lift it," explained YouTube Keluarga Fadhilah, quoted by BrilioFood on Tuesday (5/11).

After all the cassava pieces are open in the middle, lift and drain. Soak the cassava pieces in water again. However, this time the water is seasoned with spices such as finely ground garlic, salt, and turmeric powder while covered so that the cassava quickly bursts and absorbs the spices.

The soaking process only takes 5 minutes. Then drain the cassava and fry again until the texture is crispy and perfectly cooked. While frying, it is best to only turn the cassava 1 to 2 times. When cooked, the fried cheese cassava can be drained and served while warm.
"There's no need to turn it over so that (the cassava) doesn't break," said Fadhilah.
