🇩🇴 Dominican Republic recipe
Bollitos de Yuca
Bollitos de Yuca are irresistible Dominican cassava fritters — golden orbs with a shattering crispy crust that gives way to a soft, fluffy interior laced with melted cheese. Made from boiled and mashed yuca bound with egg and stuffed with cheese, these fritters are a beloved snack and appetizer found at Dominican parties, colmados, and street food vendors. They are deceptively simple but require good technique to achieve the perfect texture.
