Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled (approx. 3½ cups)
  • 2 tablespoons grated onion
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (use more if required)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coarsely grate the peeled sweet potato. Place the grated potatoes into a bowl of cold water, swirl them around a few times, and then drain the water. Gently squeeze out excess moisture from the potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure they are as dry as possible.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the prepped potatoes with grated onions, eggs, flour, and salt & pepper to taste. Mix all these ingredients together until well incorporated, forming a consistent batter for the hashbrowns.
  3. Fry the Hashbrowns: Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture onto the hot oil. Gently flatten each scoop with a spatula to form even patties. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side until they turn lightly browned. Flip each hashbrown and continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is also browned.
  4. Bake to Finish Cooking: As each batch of hashbrowns is done browning, place them on a baking sheet. Once all the hashbrowns are on the baking sheet, transfer them to the preheated oven. Bake the hashbrowns for 10-12 minutes to ensure they are cooked through and crispy.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once baking is complete, take the hashbrowns out of the oven. Serve them hot with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite condiment for a delicious and satisfying accompaniment. Enjoy your crispy and flavorful homemade potato hashbrowns!

Notes

  • Be sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated sweet potatoes to ensure crisp hashbrowns.
  • You can adjust the salt and pepper to your taste preferences.
  • If you prefer gluten-free, substitute plain flour with gluten-free flour or cornstarch.
  • Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point for frying, such as vegetable or canola oil.
  • These hashbrowns can be kept warm in the oven while frying batches.
  • Serve with sour cream, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.
