Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Slice jicama sticks into quarters and add to the boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes.
- At the same time, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Reserve bacon grease. Remove jicama from the water and pat dry.
- Toss jicama in a bowl with bacon grease and 1 tablespoon avocado oil to coat. Spread in a single layer on the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a skillet. Add jicama and fry until desired crispness, about 5 minutes.
- Spread jicama back onto the baking pan. Season with salt, then cover with Cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Broil until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES F. Peel Jicama using a very sharp knife. BE CAREFUL. IT IS A VERY HARD VEGETABLE. THERE IS AN OUTER BROWN LAYER AS WELL AS A FIBEROUS INNER LAYER, BE SURE TO PEEL AWAY BOTH. Then cut into cubes.Add to a large pot. Wash and cover with water, adding in salt as you would if you were boiling potatoes. I had to boil about an hour and they do not get soft like potatoes.
- 2. Drain in colander, then add to a food processor, also add in cream cheese, stick of butter, garlic cloves, & red onion cut into large chunks.. Process until mixture is creamy and smooth.
- 3. Prepare a casserole dish with cooking spray, and add creamed Jicama mixture. Smoothing out top, then top with both cheeses.
- 4. Bake in preheated 350 degree F. oven for about 30 to 35 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve and enjoy. A great alternative to Mashed Potatoes for Low carb eaters.
