Important Ingredients

Sweet potatoes are a delicious orange potato that is supposed to be “healthier” than regular potatoes.

They’re high in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins A, B6, C, and E, and their lower glycemic index means they’re less prone to cause blood sugar spikes than other potatoes. You may also use white sweet potatoes and purple sweet potatoes in these hash browns for added color.

Flour — Adding a little flour to the hash brown mixture helps everything stick together and fry up nicely. You can use gluten-free flour if you’re gluten-free.

Eggs — Along with the flour, the eggs aid in the adhesion of the shredded sweet potato patties. They won’t break apart on you while you’re cooking them this way!

Chef’s Advice

• Using a food processor with a shredding blade is the easiest way to shred sweet potatoes. You can shred the potatoes by hand if you don’t have a food processor. Shred the potatoes with a grater over a large bowl. Make sure you don’t cut yourself!
• When it comes to the actual cooking, sweet potato hash browns are a two-step process. You’ll start by rapidly frying them in a pan. The fried patties will then be baked in the oven. You’ll achieve the ultimate hash brown texture this way: crispy on the exterior, tender (and thoroughly cooked) on the inside.
• Because the mushy sweet potatoes can easily burn on the burner, make sure your pan isn’t too hot. You’ll also want to drain as much moisture from the shredded sweet potatoes as possible to produce a really lovely, crispy crust on the hash browns. Simply squeeze them with paper towels and you’re good to go.
