5 Tips to Preparing Jicama for French Fries & Hash Browns [Keto MORE Make Ahead #5]

In this video, I will show you how to select, store, peel, parboil, and freeze jicama in preparation for making jicama French fries and breakfast hash browns. To clarify, you can (1) buy the jicama, peel it, parboil it, and then immediately cook it for fries or hash browns. Alternately, if you don't need the jicama immediately, you can (2) buy the jicama, temporarily store it in the freezer wrapped in foil until you're ready to peel it, thaw it overnight in the fridge, peel it, parboil it, freeze it until you're ready to use it, and then cook it into fries or hash browns. So all the steps are the same except the one or two freezing steps to save the jicama for later. In both cases, you must parboil jicama after peeling it as shown in this video.

*** ABOUT ME & MY YOUTUBE CHANNELS ***
Hi, my name is Jolene Morris, I am 80-years-old, and I have been teaching mathematics for about 60 years! I first made mathematics videos in the mid-1980's with a newly invented camera called a camcorder. I would record me teaching mathematics at the chalkboard. I would share those videos with my students. I later recorded math tutorials when screen recording software was invented, and I shared those tutorials on CD-ROM, our school's network, later online. I created my Visual Mathematics channel shortly after YouTube was invented in 2005. I currently create my (faceless) mathematics videos using PowerPoint and screen recording/editing software called Camtasia.

In May 2022, I was diagnosed with diabetes so I started practicing a Keto lifestyle. In order to keep a record of my journey and share my experiences with other Keto individuals, I created a second YouTube channel called My Keto Journey. I create my (faceless) Keto videos using PowerPoint and screen recording/editing software called Camtasia.

On both of my channels, I have a playlist explaining how I make my YouTube videos. I am not an expert at mathematics, Keto, or YouTube, but I am excited to share what I know. I create about 2 videos each week, one for each channel. Please share your comments and reactions with me below [in the comments area] -- I read and respond to every comment I receive.
