In this video, Kent Altena (http://www.youtube.com/bowulf) demonstrates how to make low carb scalloped "potatoes" using jicama. Kent says, "I originally thought of this recipe as I was making the jicama chips as I noted how close the resulting chips were to scalloped potatoes as I removed them from the fryer -- firm but not crispy. Cooking them for a long time in the broth and cheese mixture eliminated much of the fibrous nature of them, and while they still didn't turn out exactly like potatoes. The dish was very good." Tip: The outer skin needs to be removed well. Any remaining outside or even outer 1/4" should be discarded. It was not pleasant even in small amounts. Ingredients: 2.5 pounds jicama, peeled 8 oz cream cheese, softened 1 cup chicken broth 1/2 cup sour cream 3 oz ham, chopped 8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded Makes 8 servings Nutrition Info (per Serving): 214 Calories, 15g Fat, 9.3g Total Carbs (4g Fiber), 9g Protein
