Ingredients
Sweet Potato Hash Browns
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel and shred the sweet potatoes using a grater to get fine shreds that will crisp well.
- Remove Excess Moisture: Place the shredded sweet potatoes in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure crispiness during cooking.
- Heat Oil: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering, ready for frying.
- Cook Hash Browns: Add the shredded sweet potatoes to the skillet and spread them evenly into a thin layer for uniform cooking.
- First Side Cooking: Cook the sweet potatoes for 5–6 minutes without stirring until the bottom becomes crispy and golden brown.
- Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully flip the hash browns and cook for another 4–5 minutes until the other side is also golden and crispy.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if desired. Serve the hash browns warm as a delicious and healthy breakfast option.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the pan for best crispiness; cook in batches if necessary.
- Sweet potatoes cook slightly faster than regular potatoes, so watch closely to avoid burning.
