  • Sweet potato hash browns are a delicious, nutritious shredded potato patty. They’re super easy to make, and you can season them any way you like. Add in a little rosemary, garlic powder, or onion powder. If you want to keep things simple you can even just use salt and pepper.
  • These hash browns fry up beautifully, without falling apart! The end result is an amazingly crispy crust with a tender sweet potato interior. Dollop a little sour cream on top and you’ve got all the best textures, all in one recipe.
  • Wondering when to eat sweet potato hash browns? Whenever you want! They’re perfect for breakfast or brunch, or you can enjoy them for dinner in place of baked potatoes or roasted potatoes!

Key Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes – These tasty orange potatoes are commonly thought to be “healthier” than your average potato. They’re loaded with antioxidants, fiber, and nutrients like Vitamins A, B6, C, and E, and their lower glycemic index makes them less likely to spike your blood sugar than other types of potatoes. For fun pops of color, you can also use white sweet potatoes and purple sweet potatoes in these hash browns.

Flour – A touch of flour in the hash brown mixture helps everything bind together and fry up like we want it to. If you’re gluten free, you can use a gluten free flour.

Eggs – Along with the flour, the eggs help the shredded sweet potato patties stick together. This way, they won’t fall apart on you when you’re frying them!

Chef’s Tips

  • The easiest way to shred sweet potatoes is to use a food processor with the shredding blade. If you don’t have a food processor, though, you can shred the potatoes by hand! Use a grater and shred the potatoes over a large bowl. Be careful not to cut yourself!
  • Sweet potato hash browns is a two-step process when it comes to the actual cooking. First, you’ll quickly fry them in a pan. Then, you’ll bake all of the fried patties in the oven. This way you get the perfect hash brown texture – crispy outside, but tender (and fully cooked) inside.
  • The soft sweet potatoes can burn easily on the stove, so it’s important to make sure your pan isn’t too hot. Also, to get a really gorgeous, crispy crust on the hash browns, you’ll want to remove as much moisture as possible from the shredded sweet potatoes. Just give them a squeeze with paper towels and you’ll be good to go.
