Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Mixture

  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled (approx. 3½ cups grated)
  • 2 tablespoons grated onion
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (use more if required)

For Serving

  • Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coarsely grate the peeled sweet potato. Place the grated sweet potato in a bowl of cold water and swirl to rinse. Drain and then vigorously squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure the potatoes are very dry, which helps achieve crispiness.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the dried grated sweet potato, grated onion, eggs, flour, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a consistent batter suitable for shaping into patties.
  3. Fry the Hashbrowns: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Using a spoon, scoop heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture onto the hot oil. Gently flatten each scoop with a spatula to form evenly sized patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until it turns lightly browned and crisp. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. Bake to Finish Cooking: As each batch finishes frying, transfer the hash browns to a baking sheet. Once all are fried, place the baking sheet with all the hash browns into the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes to ensure the centers are cooked through and the patties are crispy all over.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the hash browns from the oven and serve immediately while hot. They pair wonderfully with a dollop of sour cream or your preferred condiment for a savory, hearty meal or snack.

Notes

  • Ensuring the grated sweet potatoes are well-drained is key to achieving crisp hash browns.
  • Adjust seasoning, especially salt and pepper, to suit your taste preference.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute plain flour with a gluten-free flour alternative.
  • Make sure the oil is hot before adding the potato mixture to prevent sticking and to produce a crispy crust.
  • Use a non-stick skillet for easier cooking and flipping.
