      Title: Jicama Pancakes  
 Categories: Toohot  
      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  
           Flour

      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  
    
  Note: remove the outer brown layer of skin from the jicama. Shred on the  
  largest hole of a grater.
