How to Make Sweet Potato Hash Browns

This recipe really isn’t hard to make at all. You’re going to be using raw — not roasted — sweet potatoes, which really cuts down on overall recipe time. Once you have your potatoes grated in a bowl, you basically just combine all of the ingredients on the stovetop and to finish it off, give it a little time in the oven to create a roasted sweet potato finish that is crispy and absolutely delicious.

Start by peeling and grating two pounds of sweet potatoes. If possible, check out your local farmer’s market for fresh, organic varieties.

After peeling, use a grater to create sweet potato shreds. Look at that terrific orange color! Toss in your chopped onion and garlic cloves and, of course, those finely grated sweet potatoes into a heated skillet with 2 tablespoons of coconut oilor ghee. Don’t forget to season to taste with sea salt and pepper.

Sauté all the fixings for 10 to 15 minutes on the stovetop, until the potatoes are tender and the onions are translucent.

Transfer the mixture to a baking pan and brush with an egg wash. Pop it in the broiler for about five minutes, or until the potatoes have reached your desired crispiness.
