Sweet Potato Hash Browns (AIP)

Hash Browns… such an amazingly tasty food that goes with most any meal.  While it’s a staple at breakfast time, it also pairs perfectly with a steak, pork chops, or at any time of the day.

If you aren’t familiar with what AIP is, don’t worry about it – these taste so good you won’t know they were designed for a restricted diet.  But you might ask why use a sweet potato as opposed to a standard russet or other spud?  Well, there are many reasons really, but simply put a sweet potato is healthier and has a better flavor.

For those of you on AIP, you may be looking for a new way to prepare sweet potatoes.  If so, you’re in luck!  I can’t 100% put my finger on what the magic is here, but this recipe puts a unique flavor into sweet potatoes that isn’t found in any other recipe I’ve done thus far.

The ingredients list on these are simple – almost too simple.  But the taste is amazing, so don’t overlook these.  I like that the ingredients are so simple that they can be made quickly and at any time.

Ingredients

• 1 large Sweet Potato Shredded
• 1/4 cup Red Onion Diced
• 1/4 tbsp Sea Salt
• 1/4 tbsp Garlic Powder
• Olive Oil

Servings:

Instructions

1. Heat up a griddle or non-stick pan. I turn the griddle to high heat, but would suggest a medium heat for a non-stick pan on the stove. Make sure the cooking surface is hot before starting to cook.

   
2. Mix the sweet potato, red onion, sea salt and garlic powder together.

   
3. Pour a puddle of olive oil onto the cooking surface.

   
4. Put the shredded sweet potatoes onto the puddle of olive oil and spread them into a thin flat square shape.

   
5. Drizzle a light amount of olive oil over the hash browns.

   
6. Let cook untouched for 10 minutes or until they are browned and crisped to your liking.

   
7. Flip the hash browns and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Depending on the size of your hash browns in comparison to your spatula, you may need to use the spatula to cut the hash browns to a manageable size.

   
8. Once the other side has crisped up, serve and enjoy!

   

Recipe Notes

• If you have a food processor with a shredding blade, I'd suggest using that to shred the sweet potato.  It works very quickly and makes great shreds.
• I suggest using white sweet potatoes in this recipe, not the orange-ish colored yams that we are familiar with from Thanksgiving time.
