What is Jicama? What is best way to make it?

[KFAITH]

I have tried the jicama one time so far, we liked it, I fried it in olive oil very slowly and it got pretty soft, I had it cut up pretty thin. I found it at my Kroger store in Ohio, next time I go to Walmart I plan to look there to see if they have it. Lots of things on here you all say Walmart has and I look but mine does not have it. If I am lucky they have the Josephs pita, but they run out of it fast so than I have to wait till they get more in.

 HIT ITS MILLIE,

 I MADE JICAMA POTATO SALAD I DID NOT REALLY CARE FOR IT , DID YOU BOIL THE JICAMA FIRST BEFORE MAKING THEM INTO FRIES,  MY HUSBAND LIKED THE POTATO SALAD.

you should boil it before you use it for potato salad. not before fries though8)
