Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 1 small onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and grate the sweet potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
Step 2
Finely dice the onion and add it to the bowl with the grated sweet potatoes.
Step 3
Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper into the mixture.
Step 4
Crack the egg into the bowl and add the all-purpose flour. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add an additional tablespoon of flour.
Step 5
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the sweet potato mixture and form it into a patty with your hands. Gently place the patty in the heated skillet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until lightly browned and crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Step 8
Add more olive oil to the pan as needed to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the hash browns from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the sweet potato hash browns hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side to eggs and bacon.
