It's also called Yam Bean or MexicanTurnip according to this website http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/p...es/jicama.html

Further research shows that some call it a Mexican potato; others call it a Chinese potato. This site actually has a picture http://www.foodsubs.com/Tubers.html

It doesn't take on a potatolike texture at all. I think the only reason people draw potato comparisons is because of the physical similarities to the eye.
