Ingredients
1 large sweet potato, peeled
2 tablespoons grated onion
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (or gluten-free alternative)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any neutral oil like canola, avocado, or coconut)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Coarsely grate the sweet potato.
Place grated potato in a bowl of cold water. Swirl, then drain.
Wrap in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and squeeze out excess moisture thoroughly.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a bowl, combine dried sweet potato, grated onion, eggs, flour, and salt.
Mix well until a uniform batter forms.
Step 3: Pan-Fry Hash Browns
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Scoop heaping tablespoons of mixture into pan. Flatten with a spatula.
Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
Step 4: Finish in Oven
Place all browned hash browns on a baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes to finish cooking and crisp further.
Step 5: Serve
Serve hot with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or sliced avocado.
Add fresh herbs or hot sauce if desired.
Notes
Moisture removal is key — squeeze well for maximum crisp.
Don’t overcrowd the pan — cook in batches for even browning.
For extra crispy reheating, use a skillet or air fryer.
Add-ins: chopped herbs, grated cheese, or spices like smoked paprika.
