Well I made Jicama french fries for dinner last night. I loved them. I had never heard of jicama before and hadn't been able to find it in any of my local grocery stores. I am fortunate to live in a border town and picked some up in Buffalo, NY. I almost needed a chainsaw to peel it and was surprised with the texture of the flesh inside, it is quite potato-like. I usually put ketchup on fries and instead used malt vinegar. I wasn't able to find the carb count for malt vinegar, I saw white vinegar, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar and cider vinegar. I may have put about 1 tsp., just a light sprinkle. I don't use table salt because of my high blood pressure, so I needed to put something on the fries. If someone could let me know the carb count on malt vinegar that would be great. So I still have more jicama, maybe tomorrow I'll have hash browns with my breakfast.
