Sweet Potato Smash-browns!

Sweet Potato Smash-browns!

So, I did not make the chicken wings! Why? Because apparently you should take them out to thaw before you attempt to cook them. We have already cooked just needs to be warmed chicken and that is what I cooked. My kid is on this warpath of KD and that is what they ended up having last night but, not me!

I attempted sweet potato hash-browns! 

What you will need:

  • 1/2 of a Regular Sweet Potato (I put about half of the shredded potato in a container, away for another time)
  • 1 – 1 1/2 TSPs of Unsweetened Apple Sauce (as a binder)
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (to coat the frying pan)
  • Dash of Sea Salt
  • Dash of Chili Flakes

I like to peel any variety of root vegetable with a carrot peeler because if I don’t, I end up with half the amount of veg that I started with.

While shredding your sweet potato with your cheese shredder, turn on your pan medium-low/medium heat and let the oil heat up.

After you have your SP shredded, put it in a bowl then add your apple sauce, sea salt and chili flakes.

Mix that all together in your bowl and shape into “hash-brown” shape/size then place into your warmed frying pan.

I started with a pan that was too hot.. The KEY to these is, lower heat – longer time. 

As I was mixing the KD for everyone else, I mildly forgot about my hash-browns hense the name “smash-browns”. Before I had realized my pan was too hot, my SP had got a little more crispy then I had intended. All in all, lesson learned!

So, I mixed together both of my hash-browns then topped with mild salsa and BOY WAS IT GOOD! Even if it was a little crispier then I wanted.
