Description

Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
Seasonings and Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel and grate the sweet potatoes, then use a clean towel to squeeze out any excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness when cooking.
- Heat the pan: Place a pan over medium heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm up evenly to prevent sticking and promote browning.
- Cook the hash browns: Add the grated sweet potatoes to the pan and spread them out evenly to form a flat layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.
- Flip and cook the other side: Carefully flip the sweet potato hash browns over and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes until that side is also golden and crispy.
- Season: Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and optional garlic powder over the hash browns, stirring gently to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Serve: Serve the sweet potato hash browns warm, ideally complemented with eggs, avocado, or your favorite breakfast sides.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, cook the hash browns in batches rather than overcrowding the pan.
- Perfect when served with eggs or sliced avocado for a balanced breakfast.
