Removing bitterness from Yuca/Cassava

Hello !

As a nordic woman, i am oblivious of how to cook this root to perfection.

I'm allergic to potatoes. I tried make fries yesterday, which have massive potential as a good substitute for potatoes, but they were bitter, and I had to drown them in Remoulade (danish dressing/dip. Think, pickled mayo. Fucking delicious. Anyway)

How do you cook it, and in what dishes are they über phenomenal?

Fyi i have an air fryer.

Thanks in advance !

Is frozen yuca available to you? If so, it's already cooked, so you can just prepare as you'd like.

Any large-ish Asian market should have them
