SWEET POTATO HASH BROWNS FAQs:
Why aren’t my hash browns crispy? Sorry, friend. The sweet potatoes do not create the same crust that regular potatoes do. These are incredibly tasty, but not crispy.
How do I shred the sweet potatoes? You can use the shredding attachment on your food processor, or the large holes of a box grater.
What’s the difference between sweet potatoes and yams? There is a lot of confusion on this topic. A “Yam” is a starchy, edible root of the Dioscorea genus. Yams have a cylindrical shape with blackish or brown, bark-like skin and white, purple, or reddish flesh. A “Sweet Potato” is a large, starchy, sweet-tasting, root vegetable with white, orange, and sometimes even purple flesh.

Can these sweet potatoes hash browns be air fried?
Hi! I can't advise, because I don't own an air fryer. Let me know if you try them!
I just made these and they are so good, I didn't think my husband would like these, he is not a sweet potato man but he loved them too, I am going to freeze the rest of them
Great idea! Thank you, Cheryl!
Easy and delicious. The family are not sweet potato fans, except for me. This recipe changed minds and hearts. We tried with spicy mustard, Dijon mustard and creamy horseradish. All were great options.
That's great! I am glad you all enjoyed it!
How well do these freeze?
