Easy sweet potato hash browns

Serve these crispy sweet potato hash browns as a delicious and healthy snack or meal for any time of the day.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 medium-size sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1 small onion, finely chopped 
• 2 tbsps olive oil • ½ tsp paprika 
• ½ tsp garlic powder 
• Salt and pepper, to taste 
• Garnish: fresh parsley, coriander, or microgreens

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the grated sweet potatoes in a clean paper towel and squeeze out any moisture.

2. In a large bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, onion, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well.

3. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

4. Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into a patty, pressing it firmly. Place carefully into the hot oil, and then repeat, leaving some space between each one.

5. Cook the hash browns for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

6. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining sweet potato mixture, adding more oil to the pan if needed.

Serving suggestions: Top with baby spinach leaves, poached eggs and garnish of choice. Serve with a fresh baby spinach, tomato and feta salad, or chopped avocado and yoghurt dip.
