Sweet potato hash browns

Crispy sweet potato hash browns made with grated sweet potatoes, egg, and flour for a gluten-free option. Perfect as a healthy breakfast side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 lbs), peeled and grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour or oat flour (for gluten-free use oat flour)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional but tasty)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 23 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (for pan-frying)

Instructions

  1. Grate + squeeze dry: Grate sweet potatoes, then wrap in a clean kitchen towel (or paper towels) and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This is the key to crispy hash browns.
  2. Mix: In a bowl, combine grated sweet potato, egg, flour, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly coated.
  3. Form patties: Scoop about 1/3 cup mixture per patty and press firmly into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  4. Pan-fry: Heat 1–2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until deeply golden and crisp. Add more oil as needed for the next batch.
  5. Serve: Enjoy hot with eggs, avocado, Greek yogurt/sour cream, or your favorite sauce.

Notes

  • For crispier hash browns, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated sweet potatoes.
  • Use oat flour for a gluten-free version.
