POTATOES? No thanks, I have Jicamas!

I'm sure you're missing potatoes...I know I am. I've been trying a few different subs. Cauliflower is good but not really close. I've found the missing link. JICAMAS! They're a bit difficult to peel but once you get the hang of it, it is easy! I had to use a knife to peel it. They take a while to boil. After about 45 minutes they were still a bit firm, though perfect for frying. I boiled them in chicken stock with garlic and fried them in olive oil with some leaks. My Carb loving family ate them; They even wanted more! At 5 carbs a cup they will be a rare side for our meals so I'll keep searching for something more low carb. 4 out of 5 stars, I only took a star because of the carb count.
