I got the idea after the crunchy goodness of the dehydrated jicama chips that I might be able to make a tortilla chip out them. I soaked them overnight in a brine of water and OOOFlavors corn extract, along with a little taco seasoning then dehydrated them. The flavor was awful. Also, there's a huge amount of shrinkage when you dehydrate, such that a jicama only yields about 9-10 "chips". It may not be economical for me to continue that experiment.

I am a chips and salsa girl from way back and miss that so much (not enough to cheat) but a wistful longing for homemade tortilla chips. Thank you for your continuing efforts on this front. I am definitely coming back for the corn beef hash idea. I roasted radishes and diced them into cubes but it just didn't turn out right when I sauteed them into the corned beef. Very lack luster. I hope yours will be the breakthrough I'm looking for.

Jicama has been my longtime favorite for making fries in my air fryer. I just drizzle down with a little avocado oil and sprinkle and some seasonings and toss them in a bowl. Then I air fry them. They turn out great! They are a little crunchy in the middle still so if that would bother somebody and you want them to be softer than you would probably just have to air fry them longer. I love them! Thanks for doing this video Steve. I can't wait to watch more!🤩

Growing up my Dad grew Kohlrabi in his garden and I loved it. But it had a very much cabbage stalk flavor. I can't imagine it would be a good substitute for potatoes. But then I have never had it cooked because we ate it raw.

Steve I love the idea for this video. You are the only one I know to do this subject! Follow your instincts they are spot on!

My favorite potato substitute is using a rutabaga for mashed potatoes. Cut one up in very small pieces and boil in salted water until very fork-tender, mash with lots of good butter and half and half, add cracked black pepper, spoon into baking dish and run in hot oven until crusty on top. so delicious!!!! keto friendly.

I also love rutabaga (which is a cousin to turnips). My favorite potato substitute is still cauliflower, mashed with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and a dash of sour cream. I honestly can't taste the difference between cauliflower and potatoes, but that might be because my tastebuds were shot off during the war (not really).

Hearts of palm makes pretty good mash! Or you could try the ‘faux mash potatoes’ recipe made of egg whites- Its a bit tricky to make but it’s very good and you can make a big batch and freeze it in portions. Sadly I’m sensitive to egg whites ( albumen) so not the solution for me.
