Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel and shred the sweet potatoes using a grater to create thin, even strands for optimal crispiness.
- Remove Excess Moisture: Place the shredded sweet potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much moisture as possible. This step helps achieve a crispy texture when cooking.
- Heat the Skillet: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Cook the Hash Browns: Add the shredded sweet potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out evenly to create a flat layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes until the bottom becomes crispy and golden brown.
- Flip and Continue Cooking: Carefully flip the hash browns and cook the other side for an additional 4–5 minutes until golden and fully cooked through.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using. Serve warm to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the pan for best crispiness; cooking in batches if necessary is recommended.
- Sweet potatoes cook slightly faster than regular potatoes, so monitor closely to avoid burning.
