Weight Watchers Points
Perhaps the best part of this sweet potato hash for Weight Watchers is the points…just 3 2023 Points | 3 Blue Plan Points | 3 Green Plan points | 1 Purple Plan Points per serving!
I use the Weight Watchers online program to calculate the points in my recipes.
As always, I encourage you to calculate your recipes based on the exact ingredients that you use to recreate this recipe at home. We all have to do what works for us and at the end of the day we are all responsible for our own results!
If you are looking for ways to reduce the points you can obviously reduce that count by cutting back on the oil. By reducing the amount of oil you can cut the points back by almost half.
How to Make Healthy Shredded Sweet Potato Hash:
Clean, peel, and shred sweet potatoes. You can shred sweet potatoes easily with a food processor, it’s one of my favorite kitchen hacks. 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 like them smaller you can easily just shred them with the food processor or box grater!
Mix the potatoes, onion, and seasoning in a large bowl or plastic bag and mix well. This is a great way to get the seasoning onto all the small bits and bites!
Heat 2-3 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil in a large skillet, stir to combine. I like using cast iron pans to make these sweet potatoes. It gives them a nice little crispiness around the edges.
Add grated sweet potatoes mix and cook over med to med-low heat. Flip occasionally to lightly brown on all sides to finish this sweet potato hash recipe.
Depending on heat, the type of pan you use, etc. the potatoes will take approximately 20 to 25 minutes to cook.
Are sweet potatoes good for inflammation?
Yes, sweet potatoes are loaded with great vitamins and minerals. Vitamin C and E along with beta carotene and carotenoids alpha help to reduce inflammation throughout the body.
If you have issues related to inflammation like allergies, asthma, IBD, Coeliac, or other autoimmune diseases, you could benefit from an anti-inflammation diet. In that case, you’re really in luck because these shredded sweet potato has browns are anti-inflammatory!
This recipe is gluten free as well! There are plenty of reasons to love sweet potatoes and no gluten is one of them!
Looking for a way to spice up this sweet potato hash?
There are some easy ways to spice up this hash and make it more exciting. Weight Watchers allows us to have lots of veggies, seasonings, and more for no points (depending on your plan)!
One great way to beef up hash brown recipes is by adding bell pepper, green onions, fried eggs, smoked paprika, or your other favorite peppers!

Thank you for sharing this healthy breakfast recipe! We love it!
What a flavorful recipe. I love anything with potatoes, but this is one is a nw favorite.
Thank you for compiling this recipe for WW. I haven’t made it yet (today!) but I know I’ll like it. However, I don’t see a portion size for 3 points, just the 6 serving notation. To be accurate, one will have to weigh or measure the whole recipe, then divide by 6, which would be a hassle for sure. Did I miss something?
Weighing would definitely be the most accurate but you could eye-ball it. Serving size should be about 1/2 cup :)
