Savory Sweet Potato Hash Browns

Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and shredded
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the shredded sweet potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, chopped onion, flour, egg, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. 3

   Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

4. 4

   Scoop about 1/4 cup of the sweet potato mixture for each hash brown and flatten gently in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding oil as needed.

5. 5

   Transfer hash browns to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
