Well as long as you don't insist on them tasting like white potato fries, they are good. The jicama has a very sweet taste. They remind me more of sweet potato fries. The seasoning mix needed some additions. I added black pepper and cayenne pepper. Definately make them again.

We did this along with the Chili Burgers and it went great with that.




Not too bad

You definitely can't cut these like regular sized fries. The insides are still hard and the outsides burn. As matchsticks they're really tasty though!




Great Idea

This receipe was simple but outstanding for those of us on low carb diets that are trying to avoid white potatoes but miss the taste of french fries. My only future thought would be to maybe do them in the oven and spray them with olive oil as opposed to using so much oil in a skillet. I know it won't be quite the same but the jicama has such a wonderful flavor I don't think it will matter.




Bad!

Bad! Really bad! Enough so that I have to start rethinking this whole low carb thing.




SO GOOD

We make these ANY time we crave french fries. We made them in a fryer and sliced the jicama into REALLY thin fries...that makes them cook faster. Wait until they are browned and softened. Most of the time people almost finish them by the time I finish making it all (even people NOT on low carb love 'em)




Worth a second try!

Not exactly like BBQ chips, but these have a nice spicy sweet crunch. Great to try if you're craving something crunchy. I don't think I left them in the oil long enough. I would try these again.
