Yuca Mangú, or Mashed Yucca with Garlic Sauce, is a breakfast staple in the Dominican Republic. Here, we feature frozen GOYA® Yucca, which boasts a mild, creamy consistency (similar to a potato)—the ideal canvas for the red onion and garlic-spiked sauce. For an authentic Dominican breakfast, serve with sliced salami. Or, swap in Mashed Yucca for your mashed potatoes at your next family dinner!
