Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Grate the sweet potatoes: Using a box grater, shred the peeled sweet potatoes into fine strands. Transfer them to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, beaten egg, flour (if using), salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Heat the oil: Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Form the hash browns: Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture into the skillet and flatten it into a round patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing them out in the pan.
- Cook until crispy: Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Drain excess oil: Once cooked, transfer the hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Notes
[‘Squeezing out the liquid from the sweet potatoes is crucial for crispy results.’, ‘Cook in batches to ensure each hash brown has space to crisp up properly.’, ‘Use medium heat to avoid burning or undercooking.’, ‘Experiment with seasoning by adding garlic powder, onion powder, or cheese.’, ‘Keep cooked hash browns warm in a low oven (200°F/95°C) while finishing the rest.’]
