Thanks for bringing this up and reminding me of the jicama. I bought it a few years ago and it was very pleasant and low-carb. Apparently it can also be cooked like a potatoe. I have not bought it for a while because it is seasonal here in Ottawa and stores (only certain stores have them) run out and for that reason, I had forgotten about it.

I will try cutting and seasoning it and baking it instead of frying it. This would probably be the perfect answer to real fries which offer up a load of carbs - not good for type 2s... and let you know eventually how it turns out.

First, I have to find it...
