Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 1 small onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Peel and grate the sweet potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
Finely dice the onion and add it to the bowl with the grated sweet potatoes.
Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper into the mixture.
Crack the egg into the bowl and add the all-purpose flour. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add an additional tablespoon of flour.
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the sweet potato mixture and form it into a patty with your hands. Gently place the patty in the heated skillet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until lightly browned and crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Add more olive oil to the pan as needed to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
Once cooked, remove the hash browns from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the sweet potato hash browns hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side to eggs and bacon.
