For extra crispy yuca, soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes before frying. Adjust frying time depending on the thickness of your yuca fries. Ensure they are cooked through and tender on the inside. Experiment with different seasonings! Smoked paprika, garlic powder, or chili flakes add a delicious twist. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a spicy aioli or a cilantro-lime crema.
