Ingredients:
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
½ medium onion, grated
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free alternative)
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or preferred cooking oil)
Directions:
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
Peel and grate the sweet potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
Place the grated sweet potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy hash browns.
Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, grated onion, eggs, flour, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Cook the Hash Browns:
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about ¼ cup of the sweet potato mixture and form it into a patty.
Place the patty into the hot skillet and flatten it slightly with a spatula.
Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve:
Serve the hash browns warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
