A woman called me asking if I had ever heard of a vegetable called Potata Salsa. She is from South America, Chile I think and used to get them at home. She describes them as growing like a sweet potato, but very light and fluffy and with a flavor something like celery root. They can be cooked or fried like "yucca"? She would like help finding them.

Are you sure of the spelling? I googled it and came up with nothing.

The only thing I can think of is the Jicama, which is sometimes called the Mexican potato.
