A delicious way to enjoy sweet potatoes with a crispy outside and tender inside. It’s naturally sweet, comforting, and perfect for breakfast or a snack. Plus, it’s easy to make and packed with flavor.
Directions
Rins the shredded sweet potatoes under cold water in a colander, then let them drain and dry off a bit. In a big bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, flour, and vanilla until everything is well combined. Add the sweet potatoes to the mixture and give it a good stir. Shape the mixture into small patties—about the size you’d like your hash browns to be. Heat some oil in a large skillet until it’s hot, around 375°F (190°C), then carefully fry the patties in batches. Cook each side for about 3 minutes, until they’re golden and crispy. Once they’re done, spread a little butter on top, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve them warm.
