Yuca Fries by Jar of Lemons
One of the most underrated style of fries are the yuca fries from South America. Instead of the thin ones we know in the United States, yuca fries are much thicker and denser. It's because they come from yuca root, not potatoes.
Meanwhile, the shell boasts a flaky, croissant-like texture. Jar of Lemons teaches you how to make them and includes an unforgettable cilantro sauce to pair.
