Step 1
Pat pork belly dry with paper towels. Cut into 2-inch cubes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large heavy pot to 350°F. Working in batches, fry pork cubes until skin is golden and crackling, 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 3
Add yuca batons to the same hot oil. Fry until golden and tender inside, 6–8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon onto the plate with the pork.
Step 4
Add potato batons to the hot oil. Fry until crispy and light golden, 5–7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Step 5
Toss all components together on a platter. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.
