jicama - um, yeah, now what do i do with it?

for the first time ever i tried a jicama a couple weeks ago. it's a very strange veggie (or is it a fruit?). it has the texture of a raw russet potato, tastes sort of like a granny smith apple when raw, and yellow squash when cooked. we tried it raw, baked and fried. seems raw is the best way to eat one (which is why people mostly use it in slaws and fruit salsas). i really liked it, but i'm not sure how i am going to incorporate it into our menus. it's definitely worth trying and i'll post again if i find a really yummy way to serve it.
