This is one of my favorite potato swaps. I’ve been a fan of fresh jicama in salads or dipped in guacamole or tuna for a while. But once I tried to see if it would work well as fries, jicama became a staple veggie in my weekly shopping.   Jicama is a very unique starchy veggie. It’s low on the glycemic index but high in a number of vital nutrients. It’s also rich in inulin, a unique soluble fiber, which has been shown to help promote healthy gut flora.
