It is a Mexican potato from what I understand (I am a newbie).  Even when cooked it is still crunchy (not as soft as regular potato) and sweet.  It is good, I will cook again.

I can't find jicama around here at all. :'(
I guess it has not caught on in the Northwest.

Hi Rena! :)

I'm in Western Washington state... It doesn't get much more Northwest than that!
In my experience, our Walmarts don't. :'( :'( :'(
