Potato Substitute (Was - Carb counbt on Yucca??)

[Guest guest]

Yucca is pretty high carb. But, if you are looking for a potato substitute,

here's what I do with jicama. And it's a fairly low carb potato

alternative. And, it is delicious!

Jicama Home Fries

1 medium sized jicama (approximately 5 " in diameter and 3.5 " in height)

Lawrey's Seasoned Salt to taste

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup butter

Carefully peel the jicama and cut into 1/2 " dice. Melt the butter into the

olive oil in a skillet and fry the jicama pieces in the oil and butter

mixture over a medium low heat until all the pieces are uniformly browned.

Season to your personal taste using Lawrey's Seasoned Salt. The jicama has

a slightly crunchy texture, and a slightly sweet taste. This is a great low

carb veggie side dish.

For each 1/2 cup serving, there are approximately 6 grams of carbohydrate.
