Ingredients

For the Hash Browns:

  • 3 small sweet potatoes (about 1 lb)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
  • ½ cup chopped parsley
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Instructions:

  • Start by peeling the sweet potatoes. Once peeled, grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated sweet potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, eggs, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
  • In a skillet, add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan generously. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  • Using your hands, take a small handful of the sweet potato mixture and shape it into a patty. Carefully place it in the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  • Fry the hash browns for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them gently.
  • Once cooked, transfer the hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately.

Equipment

  • Box Grater or Food Processor
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Spatula

Notes

  • For a lighter version, swap half the sweet potatoes for grated zucchini.
  • Use olive oil instead of vegetable oil for frying for healthier benefits.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
