I bet my money that the root you describe eating in San Juan(?) was a
yucca
root.  It is very similar to a potato in texture, although more
translucent
and definately more yummy, IMHO....

I was in a Cuban restaurant in Key West, and they served yucca on the
menu
the way we serve potatoes and variations thereof here.  My favorite
dish was
a cold salad of boiled yucca marinated in lime juice, fresh garlic and
cilantro.  IT accompanied fresh sea bass.  Probably not paleo, but
really
delicous.
