Quick & Easy Sweet Potato Hash Browns
Let me just start by saying that I have always been terrible at making hash browns! They always came out soggy. So I just admitted defeat and decided to stop trying. Once we started eating paleo, I wanted desperately to make sweet potato hash browns. While we avoid eating white potatoes, we definitely include sweet potatoes in our regular rotation.
White potatoes contain anti-nutrients, like saponins, that can be harmful, while sweet potatoes don’t contain those substances. I tried every method out there and failed most of the time, but then I had an idea: first fry, then broil. It worked! Plus, it’s super easy!!! Let me just say YOU’RE WELCOME because these are soooo good! Prep time: 10 minutes.
