This Weight Watchers Sweet Potato Hash Recipe is one of my favorite low point meal prep recipes that your whole family will love.

One of the reasons I love to make this sweet potato hash is that I can prep it once at the beginning of the week and heat it up every morning for a mess free breakfast. I add an egg to make it the perfect and well rounded breakfast recipe.

How to Make Healthy Shredded Sweet Potato Hash

Clean, peel using a vegetable peeler, and then shred the sweet potatoes. You can shred sweet potatoes easily with a food processor, it’s my favorite way. You can also use a box grater.
If the potatoes seem too wet, you can remove excess water by laying the shredded potatoes out on paper towels for a few minutes before you start cooking them.
Chop the onion into small chunks. If you’d rather shred them in the food processor with the sweet potatoes you can definitely do that.
Mix the potatoes, onion, and seasoning in a large bowl or plastic bag and mix well. A plastic bag is a great way to get the seasoning onto all the small bits and bites.
Heat coconut oil or olive oil in a large skillet, and then stir to combine everything together in the pan. I like using cast iron pans to make these sweet potatoes. It gives them a nice little crispiness around the edges.
Add grated sweet potato mix and cook over medium to medium-high heat. Flip occasionally to lightly brown on all sides while cooking.
The potatoes will take approximately 20 to 25 minutes to cook.
