Description
Savory sweet potato hash browns are a crispy, golden breakfast or brunch treat that balance the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with savory seasonings. Easy to make and highly customizable, they pair well with eggs, avocado, or sour cream.
Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
1 large egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or almond flour
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped or grated
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2–3 tablespoons olive oil or neutral oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel and grate the sweet potatoes. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, egg, flour, onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop a portion of the mixture into the pan and flatten gently into a patty.
- Cook each side for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
Notes
For added flavor, mix in herbs like parsley or green onions.
Add cayenne or red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
Use chickpea flour for a gluten-free and protein-rich option.
For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flaxseed meal and water mixture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture; avoid microwaving.
