Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or halal cooking oil)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- to taste salt and pepper
- optional fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by peeling the sweet potatoes. Once peeled, grate them using a box grater or a food processor for quick results.
- Wrap the grated sweet potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, chopped onion, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Cooking
- Preheat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add a little extra olive oil if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Once the pan is hot, add the sweet potato mixture in an even layer. Use a spatula to press it down firmly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
- Carefully flip the hash browns using the spatula. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until that side is also golden and crispy.
- Remove from the pan and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
Use a good non-stick pan to help prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping. If making a large batch, cook in batches to avoid steaming instead of browning.
