Tyler is in love with the jicama fries . They are so hard to peel & cut is there a easy way that I do not know about ? I cant move my arms when I get through peeling and cutting it . I am gonna have carpel tunnel ! They are good though!

peeling i just use a knife.... but i have a french fry cutter that i just push the jicama thru...but i have no clue as to where i got it from??? i think my grandma gave it to me along long time ago:) i dunno anyone got a tool out there that would make peeling jicama easy?

what does that mean "why did you put the pics on the fries"?

This cutter is off Amazon so it's available to everyone no matter where you live.  It has several size options for the fries and not very expensive.

For peeling jicama, I use a sharp knife and cut it into 1/2 inch slices... then take a paring knife and just trim off the peel.  It's much easier than trying to peel it whole.

Trying to hold a large Jicama and peel it with a small paring knife or veggie peeler is a task...try this method instead; Put the Jicama down on a cutting board flattest side down. Using a sharp Chefs Knife turned a bit sideways start at the top of the Jicama and cut the peel off using a downward stroke pattern skin removal... works quick and easy on the arm. The key is a sharp knife. After it's peeled cut it into 1/4 inch slabs, stack half the slabs on top of each other and cut your fries, to make cubes simply turn your fries sideways and cut your cubes for potato salad or home fries.
