Who would have thought that Matthew McConaughey indulges in foods with tons of carbohydrates? The actor’s wife, Camila Alves McConaughey, took to social media to share how the Serenity star and their 13-year-old son Levi are obsessed with the South American starchy tuberous root.

The Brazilian-American model, designer, and mother of three shared an Instagram video showing how her yuca fries disappeared from the plate she was holding. “My little one’s LOVE when I make yuca fries for them,” she wrote in the caption, referring to Levi, Livingston, 9, and Vida, 12.

“Look at this, guys. The plate is pretty much gone,” she said in the video.

“French fries don’t have anything on this!” Matthew said while grabbing the last piece. “Yum yum yum,” he said before asking: “Can I have this as a main course, please?”

“See? It’s a hit at my household,” Alves McConaughey added. “Maybe at yours too.”

“Can you make some more, please!” Matthew requested at the end of the video.

Yuca fries are very popular in Brazil and other countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. The recipe calls for only three ingredients, which Camila shared in the comments section of her post.
