  • Mock potato chips made from jicama

    Mock potato chips made from jicama. All I did was cut the jicama paper thin and I mean paper thin and let them sit out to dry out some of the water that they hold at least 30 minutes other wise they have a hard time getting crispy. Then I let them deepfry in oil until they are a medium to dark brown the darker these get the sweeter they get it takes them getting very dark to get crispy. Then took them out of the pan and added a little sea salt and they taste better then real potato chips. Enjoy!

            After frying mine, I sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
            Delicious!

                This morning I made Jicima fries and they were really tasty. I made some mistakes that I will change when I make them again, sliced them too thin for one, but I've never tried jicima before and I loved it. I don't think they taste like potato fries, more like sweet potato fries. I can't wait to try the chips. I'm always so happy to find a new veggie to love .
