Ingredients:
- Sweet potatoes
- Cooking oil (such as olive oil or vegetable oil)
- Salt and pepper (optional for seasoning)
Instructions:
Peel and Grate the Sweet Potatoes:
Peel the sweet potatoes and use a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment to grate the sweet potatoes. Aim for medium to fine-sized shreds.
Squeeze Out Excess Moisture (Optional):
Place the grated sweet potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. This step is optional but can help make the hash browns crispier.
Heat Oil in a Pan:
In a skillet or frying pan, heat a couple of tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat. Make sure the pan is well-coated to prevent sticking.
Form Hash Brown Patties:
Take handfuls of the grated sweet potatoes and press them together to form patties. You can make them as thick or as thin as you prefer.
Cook the Hash Browns:
Place the formed patties into the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. You can press down on the patties with a spatula to flatten them a bit if you like them crispier.
Season (Optional):
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the hash browns to taste. You can also add other seasonings like paprika or garlic powder if desired.
Serve:
Once the hash browns are cooked to your liking, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Enjoy:
Serve the sweet potato hash browns as a side dish for breakfast or brunch. They go well with eggs, avocados, or your favorite toppings.
