Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by peeling and grating the sweet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the sweet potatoes in a clean towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until translucent and aromatic.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained grated sweet potatoes, sautéed onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  4. Scoop portions of the mixture and shape them into small patties, about ½ inch thick.
  5. Carefully place the patties in the preheated skillet and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Transfer the hash browns to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs and pair them with eggs, avocado, or Greek yogurt.

Fresh vegetables yield the best flavors. Ensure even grating of sweet potatoes for consistent cooking. Preheat your skillet adequately before cooking and manage heat to prevent burning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
