Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 small onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Can substitute with coconut oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or herbs for seasoning
Instructions
Preparation
- Grate the sweet potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
- Squeeze out excess moisture by transferring the grated sweet potatoes to a clean kitchen towel, gathering them in the center and twisting to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Finely chop the onion into small pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, chopped onion, olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil.
- Spoon the sweet potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it to form pancake shapes.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Mistakes to avoid: Don't rush the cooking process; ensure hash browns get crispy. Used a cast-iron skillet for even heat distribution and crispiness. Grate a larger batch of sweet potatoes and freeze some for future meals.
