Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Hash Browns
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potato: Peel the sweet potato completely. Using a box grater or food processor with the grater attachment, shred the sweet potato finely. Use a paper towel to pat the shredded sweet potato dry, removing excess moisture to ensure crispiness during frying.
- Mix Ingredients: Transfer the dried shredded sweet potato to a large mixing bowl. Add the flour, egg, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly. Shape the mixture into small hash brown patties for easy frying and serving.
- Heat Oil and Fry: Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or a deep heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the hash brown patties in small batches. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the cooked hash browns from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with remaining patties. Serve warm as a tasty breakfast side or snack.

- Patting the shredded sweet potato dry is essential to achieve crisp hash browns.
- Use a neutral vegetable oil suitable for frying to avoid overpowering flavors.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to keep oil temperature steady and ensure even cooking.
- Adjust seasoning to taste if desired.
