Savory Sweet Potato Hash Browns offer a delightful twist on the traditional breakfast favorite. By substituting regular potatoes with nutrient-rich sweet potatoes, these hash browns provide a naturally sweet flavor and a crispy texture. The combination of grated sweet potatoes, onions, eggs, and flour ensures a golden-brown crust while maintaining a tender interior. Perfect for a weekend brunch or a hearty breakfast, these hash browns are both simple to prepare and satisfying to eat. With just six basic ingredients, you can enjoy a wholesome and delicious start to your day.

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:

1. 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.
     
     

2. 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.
     
     

3. 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.
     
     

4. Serve:
   
   

   • Serve the hash browns warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
