hi andie007... i added some links above:) i use the potato cutter,it is so easy to use because it cuts in one motion

this looks really good, but how do you get the fries in that shape? is there something special you use?

These are terrific! ALL 4 of my kids 7 and under LOVED these. I'm introducing my kids (and husband) to raw by making 2 raw dinners each week. These will be on the top of the list!

hi everyone....if you want to try dehydrating these, dry for about 3 hours,at 115 degrees..they kind of wilt,dry out a little,but will get very chewy if you leave them too long....bitt,you can make "fries" with daikon as well, but they have a sharp,spicy flavor,and are also kind of watery, so hubby may not like that idea!sorry,RawKidChef,these don't quite make it to the soft potato texture:(i'm just learning to love the light crispness of these:)

I had the same problem with my jicama, it just wasn't doing it for me, too watery and starchy. I dehydrated overnight, maybe a LITTLE too long, and now they are much more edible to me, although maybe too sweet now ;)

rawkidchef, please tell us if that works. my husband's complaint about jicama is that it is too watery.

evergreen, you never fail to post an amazing recipe. Do you think if I dehydrated these for 3 or 4 hours they would soften into soft potato like fries?
In the recipe box it goes! Thanks so much I'll pick up a fresh jicama sometime and let you know.
