    Nice substitute for regular hash browns but be aware that: 1) it does not crisp up; 2) it does not taste like potatoes (never loses its crunch); and 3) jicama has a slightly sweet taste. I have tried jicama as hash browns and as baked fries and it is a veggie best served raw. - 3/18/12

    THE CORRECT NUTRITIONAL FACTS ARE LISTED IN MY SPARKS COOKBOOK, HEALTHIER EATING THE ABOVE LISTED NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION IS WRONG, DON'T GO BY THEM! THE POSTER LISTED UNSALTED BUTTER & NOT REGULAR AS THE RECIPE CALLS FOR & 1 CUPOF SALT INTO THE ESTIMATOR WHEN COMPUTING FACTS. - 3/14/09

    I substituted olive oil for the butter to make it vegan. It had WAY WAY WAY too much salt and pepper. The next time I made it, I used fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. I also left out the salt & pepper and let people add them at the table. - 3/5/08

    I enjoyed this. It doesn't crisp like potatoes or have a creamy, soft interior but instead does brown beautifully & has a lovely cooked quality I didn't know jicama could have. I did prepare this low & slow with a cover over them to 'cook through' to begin. Added a bit of garlic for extra flavor. - 12/2/07

    Not bad, but did not taste like potato hashbrowns, and I thought it had too much pepper. Serving up with some reduced-sugar ketchup improved it a lot. - 7/1/12

    Salt is usually used to take water out of jicama before cooking, much like with zucchini, eggplant, and sometimes potatoes - and that's the only reason I can think of using a cup(???) of salt. But you're supposed to drain and rinse the salt off before cooking. Butter does have 12g fat per serving. - 6/12/12

    It was good, but I didn't think it tasted like potatoes. I couldn't get it to hold together as I turned it, but perhaps I was in a hurry and didn't let it cook slowly and thoroughly. Will try it again as DH liked it. - 4/4/09

    11 fat grams per serving?? is that right? there is only 2tblp of butter and Jamica has little to no fat, what am I missing here? - 3/4/08

    I'm really hoping the sodium count is messed up on this... if not, yikes! - 11/13/07
