Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 sweet potato shredded
  • 1 tsp salt optional

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a hot skillet over medium heat. Add shredded sweet potato and pat into a half-inch layer with a spatula. Let cook for 4 minutes, then flip, and flatten again.
  • Cook for 4 minutes, or until potatoes are browned and cooked through and tender. Sprinkle with salt (if desired). Serve warm!

Notes

  • Patting the shredded potatoes dry with paper towels or clean kitchen towel removes excess moisture which helps with browning.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet. A nice, even layer is the key for crisp hash browns.
  • For extra crispiness, cook one minute longer on each side.
  • A food processor with a shredding blade or grater attachment works faster than a box grater.
  • These reheat well in the air fryer for two to three minutes.
  • Substitute the sweet potatoes with shredded russet potatoes if you want a more classic hash brown.
