About Bollitos de Yuca
Fundación Sabores Dominicanos presents bollitos de yuca as cheese-filled balls of boiled and mashed cassava. Its account places them among Dominican picaderas served at celebrations and sold in street frituras.
This version chooses cheddar for the filling and corn oil for frying. Cassava supplies the starchy base, with salt, butter and evaporated milk among the source’s ingredients.
The round balls enclose their cheese filling and develop a golden exterior. Egg and wheat flour also appear in the ingredient list, although their exact handling is not described in the published method.
