Notes

Recipe Tips:

Making this sweet potato hash recipe is quick and easy thanks to the food processor. No need to break out the shredder, just toss them into the food processor and they're ready to go in a few seconds.
These shredded sweet potatoes don't crisp up like regular hash browns - if you'd like crispy sweet potato hash browns, put them in the oven on a baking sheet at 400 for a few minutes (until they start to brown).
This recipe is easily adapted. Add black beans and roasted corn for more fiber, change the seasonings around and add garlic powder, cumin, and smoked paprika if you like, too.
I love meal prepping this along with Chicken Apple Sausage Patties or this Savory Homemade Turkey Sausage Recipe. Either of them tastes great with these Sweet Potato Hash Browns and all of the recipes are easy to freeze and reheat later, which are perfect on a busy morning.
You could also add the veggies from this recipe on top of this sweet potato breakfast hash.
Add protein to this meal by adding a fried egg or scrambled eggs to your plate.
If freezing these homemade hash browns, I like to portion these out into small freezer bags.

This is a perfect recipe when paired with homemade sausage like I mentioned above, or an egg or two (depending on your serving of sweet potatoes). Your breakfast should be 50% FFC and 50% protein.
