I’ve made my chili with boiled jicama but on the stove it took 3 hours to boil. I’m excited to see how this works this weekend. I plan on attempting to make a faux ham and beans, maybe some faux potato salad. I have done the potato salad before but again, boiling alllllll day lol. Thank you for sharing.
I didn't try the instant pot until today, and while they were cooking your video popped up on the screen!! These are really good; made a batch to finish off tomorrow in the oven. Yours look awesome deep fried; I just have to keep my fat grams low. Thanks for the instructions; I never thought of cooking them before cutting them into strips! Might be easier that way. The worst part is peeling the darn things, lol.
The instant pot for jicama is great! I cooked my fries in air fryer with avocado oil, smoked paprika and cumin! I added salt after they were done. Amazing! Thank you for the video!
What temperature and how long did you air fry your jicama fries.....we don't do deep frying. Also, were they tender inside? I've had difficulty getting mine tender, but will try the pressure cooker method the next time. Thanks in advance.
Just found this. I have been making jicama fries by pot boiling them for 30 minutes and then letting them air dry. I NEVER thought of doing 3 jicama at once in the Instant Pot! That would make it REALLY EASY to make alot them and freeze prep for later. I too freeze my jicama fries for later by blanching them 1st (325 degrees for 2-3 minutes). Then you can freeze them for later. Will try your method tomorrow and let you know my thoughts.
Thank you so very much for the recipe! I'm going to be making it this way from now on. I usually boil, drain, and then cook. The instant pot gave it a great consistency and took out enough of the moisture that it was able to crisp up without cooking down too much. I didn't deep fry it but I did use the Instant pot method and put one batch in the oven and another in the air fryer. The oven batch turned out a tad crispier than the air fryer. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video!! I never thought about cooking jicama in my instant pot. Genius! I have tried boiling my jicama fries for 30 min before air frying. STILL crunchy 🤬
I love this! I use it for hash browns but wanted them a tad softer. I was wondering if you could use in pressure cooker lol. Can you freeze after cutting into fries then cook them frozen? 🤔
Have you ever tried cooking them in the instant pot with the peels on and then peeling them afterward? I'm thinking the skin would come off more easily.
One thing to note: the peel/skin is very bad for us. So I am not so delicate (maybe it's a lack of patience)with peeling them. I "hack" the peel with a sharp knife. I would recommend peeling them prior to cooking because "Not only is the outer skin thick and fibrous, it also contains a toxic compound to protect the tuber from underground predators" But other than that they are great (even raw)
I have so many questions! Firstly thank you for this! I cut mine into fries raw, is that bad? Haha. Is it still the same pressure cook time in the instant pot? And 2…can I air fry em? Will they be terrible? Haha
I haven't tried them directly in the air fryer right after the instant pot but I do use the air fryer to "reheat" them the next day and they come out great just be carefully not to over cook them.
@@ImPeanutKate516 Have you tried them in the air fryer yet? I got an Instant Pot for Christmas and my honey just bought an Instant Pot air fryer. I was going to try making fries for the Super Bowl par'tay.
I tried this and I do not like it at all. It taste nothing like French fries. It has a smell and taste that literally made me feel sick to my stomach. It's like a combination between a potato and pear. It has a sick sweetness to it. I recommend you try it, but, try it knowing that this does not taste like French fries. You may like it, but, I did not like it at all. We are going to dump the oil we used to fry these in because of the smell.
THIS YOUNG LADY IS A NATURAL AND SHE IS VERY BRIGHT, ENGAGING AND BEAUTIFUL. GREAT RECIPE THANKS FOR SHARING

You're so welcome,
Enjoy!
I will have to try them in the oven next time!
Good video. Thanks!
Thanks!
Jicama is my new favorite too. I like them raw too. I read that the smaller ones are sweeter. Going to try your instant pot way. Thanks.
Thanks for your inspiration. Your daughter is beautiful!
Thank you
You should try it raw, it is really good. We eat it with Chile and lemon, Shredded with carrots is also really good.
Sounds delicious
Thanks for the video!! I never thought about cooking jicama in my instant pot. Genius! I have tried boiling my jicama fries for 30 min before air frying. STILL crunchy 🤬
Did it work well?
The price has increased.

Yes, we freeze them all the time
Yes you can freeze them! I'll have to try the hash browns style
Sadly they are expensive here... 4 dollars for one up here in canada :( But they taste great.

I always peel before cooking
Slice them,don't cook them,eat them as a fruit with lime salt or tajim
That little girl is so cute. Train kids to eat healthy at a young age sugar is the devil.
Thanks Jay!
Thank you!
I have so many questions! Firstly thank you for this!

I haven't tried them air fried yet and the cooking time might be different if they are already cut never tried that before either
Could it be fried in airfryer too? ^-^
Yes, they do work in the air fryer after the pressure cooker.
I haven't tried them directly in the air fryer right after the instant pot but I do use the air fryer to "reheat" them the next day and they come out great just be carefully not to over cook them.

Lol
It's not for everyone I guess
It's not healthy if you deep fry it! LOL
Healthier than fries...
Not true. If you are Keto or Low Carb then deep frying is ABSOLUTELY fine.
