2-Ingredient Sweet Potato Hash Browns
Description
These hash browns use only sweet potatoes and a small amount of neutral oil, such as avocado oil, to achieve a balanced texture of crispy exterior and tender inside. The sweet potatoes are grated or spiralized, then cooked in batches over medium heat, covered to steam and brown evenly. Light seasoning with salt and pepper enhances their natural sweetness.
The method avoids overcrowding the pan to encourage browning, and flipping during cooking ensures an even finish. Though simple, the technique produces hash browns with a pleasing contrast between crisped edges and a soft center.
They can be served on their own or paired with garnishes like green onions, herbs, or optional condiments such as hot sauce or ketchup. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to three days and reheated in a skillet to restore crispness.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potato organic if possible, skin on
- 1-2 Tbsp avocado oil (or other neutral oil // if oil free, omit and use a non-stick pan)
- 1 pinch salt optional
- 1 pinch black pepper optional
FOR SERVING optional
- green onion or parsley
- hot sauce or ketchup
- tofu scramble
Instructions
- Spiralize your sweet potatoes into thin noodles using a spiralizer, or grate using a box grater or the grater attachment on your food processor.
- Heat a large skillet (we prefer cast iron) over medium heat. Once hot, add a little oil and only as many sweet potatoes as will fit comfortably in the pan. If they crowd the pan, they won’t brown as well.
- Season with a little salt and pepper (optional) and cook for about 5-8 minutes COVERED or until browned on the exterior and tender on the interior. Covering helps the sweet potatoes steam on the interior while still crisping up on the outside.
- Flip / toss at the halfway point to ensure even cooking. Continue to do this in batches until your sweet potatoes have all been cooked.
- Enjoy as is, or serve with fresh herbs, hot sauce or ketchup, or your favorite scramble. Best when fresh, but you can store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Reheat in a hot skillet for best results.
Notes
- Use a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat for best browning results.
- Cook sweet potatoes in batches to prevent overcrowding, which helps achieve crispiness.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a hot skillet to maintain texture.
- Nutrition estimates exclude garnishes and are based on minimal oil use.
