Jicama Pancakes

Source of Recipe

adapted from Too Hot Tamales


List of Ingredients

1 1/2 cups jicama shredded (see Note)
1 whole lemon juiced
2 tablespoons grated onion
1 large egg beaten
1 tablespoon oat flour
(original recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon salt )
1 teaspoon minced habanero chile
1 russet potato peeled
Non-stick cooking spray


Recipe

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, and tossing 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.

Heat a non-stick skillet on medium-high heat until very hot. Spray with non-stick spray as needed. 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. Keep the pancakes warm on a paper towel-lined baking sheet in a warm oven while you finish cooking the rest. Serve warm.

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