Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 medium-sized yellow onion
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and use a box grater or food processor to shred them into fine strands.
Step 2
Place the shredded sweet potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This helps achieve crispy hash browns.
Step 3
Finely chop the yellow onion and add it to the drained sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
In the same bowl, add the egg, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Step 5
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Scoop about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sweet potato mixture and shape it into a flat patty with your hands.
Step 7
Carefully place the patty into the hot skillet, pressing down slightly to flatten further. Repeat until the skillet is full but not overcrowded.
Step 8
Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Step 9
Once done, transfer the hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Repeat the process with the remaining sweet potato mixture, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Step 11
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade sweet potato hash browns as a breakfast side or snack!
