      Yield: 4 servings   
    
  1 1/2 c  Shredded jicama (see Note)   
           Juice of I lemon   
      2 tb Grated onion   
           I large egg, beaten   
           I tablespoon all-purpose

      1 ts Minced habanero chile   
      1    Russet potato, peeled   
      3 tb Vegetable oil, or as needed   
    
  Toss the jicama in a colander with the lemon juice and let sit for 15   
  minutes. Using your hands, squeeze as much water as you possibly can out     
of   
  the jicama, a handful at a time. Spread on a doubled layer of paper     
towels   
  and blot with more paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the jicama with     
the   
  onion, egg, flour, salt, and chili. Toss well to be sure the chile is   
  evenly distributed in the mixture. Grate the potato into the bowl on the   
  largest hole of the grater and toss again.   
     
  In a large cast-iron skillet, heat I tablespoon of the oil over     
medium-high   
  heat until very hot. Form the mixture into 2 1/2-inch patties and saute   
  them in batches, turning with a metal spatula when brown on one side,     
until   
  crisp and brown. Add more oil to the skillet as necessary and keep the   
  pancakes warm on a paper towel-lined baking sheet in a warm oven while     
you   
  finish cooking the rest. Serve warm.   
     
  Yield: 6 to 8 servings

  largest hole of a grater.
