Sweet Potato Hash Browns

Ingredients

• 1 sweet potato (medium size [almost 3 cups])
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or add to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or add to taste)
• 2 tbsp flour (tapioca flour or cornstarch will also work)
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil ( or as needed)

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel the sweet potato and shred the sweet potato with a box grater or a food processor with the grater attachment.

2. 2

   Put the sweet potatoes in a colander and rinse them under running water until they are mostly clear. Squeeze very well to remove any excess water.

3. 3

   Transfer the shredded sweet potato to a large bowl. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, flour, and egg. Mix well.

4. 4

   Add two tablespoons of oil into a cast iron pan ( non-stick pan or heavy bottom pan). Use a ¼ cup to measure the sweet potato into the pan and flatten them out with a spatula into hash brown patties.

5. 5

   Cook the hash brown patties for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until they are golden and crispy.

6. 6

   Remove from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
