I-Don't-Like-Vegetables-Recipe: Simple Sweet Potato Hash Browns

The taste will surprise you.  Especially if you don't normally like sweet potatoes. 

Sweet Potato Hash Browns don't have a sweet taste like baked or boiled sweet potatoes, but instead they're rather savory like - well, like hash browns.  Only with a twist. And they are sooooooo good!  

And good for you!  For just a few calories you get a load of nutrients ... manganese, Vitamin A, Vitamin B, fiber, and more. Sweet potatoes are one of the unsung heroes of weight loss.

Simple Sweet Potato Hash Browns

A savory way to enjoy sweet potatoes from jenniferskitchen.com.

2 medium sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder or granulated onion – optional
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder or granulated garlic – optional

1. Wash and peel sweet potatoes, then shred using the shredding blade of food processor.


(You could shred these by hand, but a food processor does the job in just seconds and makes this dish so quick and easy.)

2. Mix sweet potato shreds with about 1 tablespoon of the oil.

3. Heat remaining oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add sweet potatoes. Reduce heat to medium high and allow sweet potatoes to brown on bottom.  

4. Flip with a spatula and brown on other side.

Season to taste.  Serve hot.
 
Variation: Add some dried herbs like parsley or basil for more flavor.
