1

Peel the cassava with a vegetable peeler, removing all the brown skin. Cut off the ends of the cassava to make it easier to slice.
2

Cut into very thin slices, about 1/8 inch. I suggest you use a mandoline, but be very careful with it.
3

Add the oil to a skillet or deep pot and heat over medium-high heat. Let it heat until it reaches 350º F.
4

Fry the sliced cassava in batches, about 15 or 20 slices at a time, until they’re crisp and light golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the oil and place on absorbent paper towel to get rid of excess oil.
5

In a small bowl, combine the chili and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
6

Season the chips with salt to taste and sprinkle with the chili and cayenne pepper mixture.
7

Serve with your choice of sauce or dip.
