Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

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
 

  • Step 1: Prepare Potatoes
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Begin by coarsely grating the potatoes.
  • 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.
  • Step 2: Mix Ingredients
  • In a medium bowl, combine the prepped potatoes with finely chopped onions, eggs, flour, and salt & pepper to taste.
  • Mix all these ingredients together until well incorporated, forming a consistent batter for the hashbrowns.
  • Step 3: Fry the Hashbrowns
  • Heat a generous amount of 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.
  • Step 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.
  • Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
  • Once baking is complete, take the hashbrowns out of the oven.
  • Serve them hot with a dollop of sour cream for a delicious and satisfying accompaniment.
  • Enjoy your crispy and flavorful homemade potato hashbrowns!
