Sweet Potato Hash Browns (AIP)

Print Recipe
Hash browns made with sweet potatoes - a sweet flavor like no other potato can offer. Everyone likes hash browns, but using sweet potatoes takes them to a whole new level! I don't know how else to describe them - you just simply have to make this recipe. But buy some extra sweet potatoes - you'll want to make them again very soon!

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • 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.
    Heat the griddle to high.
  • Mix the sweet potato, red onion, sea salt and garlic powder together.
    Mix together the ingredients for sweet potato hash browns
  • Pour a puddle of olive oil onto the cooking surface.
    Use olive oil to ensure the hash browns get crispy.
  • Put the shredded sweet potatoes onto the puddle of olive oil and spread them into a thin flat square shape.
    Add the shredded sweet potatoes to the cooking surface.
  • Drizzle a light amount of olive oil over the hash browns.
    Add olive oil to the sweet potatoes.
  • Let cook untouched for 10 minutes or until they are browned and crisped to your liking.
    Don't touch the hash browns - let them crisp up into a nice patty.
  • 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.
    Cut hash browns and flip to cook the other side.
  • Once the other side has crisped up, serve and enjoy!
    Once both sides are crispy the hash browns are ready to eat.

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.
