Jicama Matchstick Fries

1. 1

   Place a heavy pot over medium-high heat and fill with at least 1-inch vegetable oil.

2. 2

   Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. (Portable deep-fryers at home are great for this, but if you don't have one, use a candy thermometer just be careful!)

3. 3

   Very thinly slice the jicama, as you would a potato to make chips, then stack a few slices at a time and cut them all into matchstick-sized pieces.

4. 4

   Carefully place the chips into the hot oil (use a slotted spoon and wear mitts) and fry until very crispy (just a few minutes will do).

5. 5

   Cook in batches, as necessary.

6. 6

   Remove and drain on paper towels.

7. 7

   Sprinkle liberally with equal amounts of salt, onion, and garlic powders, and paprika to taste.

8. 8

   Toss to coat well and serve immediately.
