Sweet Potato Hash Browns

01Method

1. 1

   Place a cast iron skillet (or heavy-bottomed pan) over medium-high heat and melt half the butter. The butter should sizzle and bubble but not brown before the sweet potato goes in.

2. 2

   Drop large spoonfuls of grated sweet potato into the pan, forming small patties. Press them down lightly to flatten. Season with salt and pepper. Work in batches if needed, using the remaining butter for each batch.

3. 3

   Let the hash browns cook without moving them until the underside is well browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip carefully with a metal spatula and cook the second side for another 4 to 5 minutes until golden.

4. 4

   Transfer finished hash browns to a baking sheet in a warm oven to hold until ready to serve. Serve alongside fried eggs and bacon.
