Description

A healthier twist on classic hash browns made with sweet potatoes. Naturally sweet, crispy, and packed with nutrients—perfect for a wholesome breakfast.


Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes

Seasonings and Oil

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel and shred the sweet potatoes using a grater to get fine, even pieces.
  2. Remove Excess Moisture: Place the shredded sweet potatoes in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure crispiness.
  3. Heat the Oil: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, allowing it to warm evenly without smoking.
  4. Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Add the shredded sweet potatoes to the skillet and spread them out evenly to form a thin layer.
  5. First Side Cooking: Cook the sweet potatoes for 5–6 minutes without stirring, allowing the underside to become crispy and golden brown.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the hash browns and cook for another 4–5 minutes until the second side is also golden and crispy.
  7. Season and Serve: Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using. Serve warm for a delicious breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan for best crispiness.
  • Sweet potatoes cook slightly faster than regular potatoes, so monitor closely to avoid burning.
