Jicama Hash Browns

Sunday morning breakfast consisted of whole wheat blueberry pancakes with homemade honey syrup, sausage and a side of Jicama hash browns.

We have never tried Jicama, and know that it's also called a "Mexican Potato."  

(midway through cooking)

I peeled it, shredded it, and fried it.  First I diced an onion and cooked it in canola oil, then add the shredded Jicama with salt and pepper.  


It is sweet.  Not what I was expecting, but pretty good anyway.  It contains no fat and is very low in carbs.  Next time I will add some garden green peppers to the onion.

It's great raw also. That's the only way I've had it. I've seen it cut like french fires and used in veggie platters. It's crunchy and delicious with a veggie dip. Your breakfast sounded great....I haven't had mine yet..I can almost smell that sausage....yum! I need to go to my kitchen now........

I have never heard of this! Interesting!

Thanks for bouncing over to my menu and the suggestion for the Clean Eating Magazine site. I am going to go look into the low fat and low sodium options!

Thanks again! Love your blog!
