Ingredients

Scale

Hash Browns

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or any other neutral oil like canola)
  • 2 tbsp grated onion
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled
  • 2 large eggs (preferably free-range for richer yolks)
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (King Arthur recommended)
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coarsely grate the peeled sweet potato and place it into a bowl of cold water. Swirl the potatoes around to remove excess starch, then drain. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to gently squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes to ensure they are dry for crispiness.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the drained and dried grated potatoes with the grated onion, eggs, flour, kosher salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until you have a consistent batter ready for frying.
  3. Fry the Hashbrowns: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture onto the hot oil and gently flatten each scoop with a spatula, forming even patties. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Bake to Finish Cooking: As each batch finishes frying, place the hash browns on a baking sheet. Once all have been cooked on the stovetop, transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. This step ensures the hash browns are cooked through and maintain a crispy texture.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the hash browns from the oven and serve them hot. They pair excellently with a dollop of sour cream or your preferred sides for a hearty breakfast or brunch dish.

Notes

  • Drying the grated sweet potatoes thoroughly is key to achieving crispy hash browns.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour to make it gluten-free.
  • Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point like canola or vegetable oil for frying to avoid burning.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  • For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs or another egg replacer, but note the texture may vary.
