Instructions
Grate the sweet potato and zucchini using a box grater or food processor and transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Then prepare the other ingredients.
Combine the grated vegetables, salt, and garlic powder, and beat in the eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are combined. Mix in the flour a few tablespoons at a time until it is fully mixed in.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is heated, place about 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto the skillet forming small patties by pressing them firmly with the back of the spoon. The skillet should fit about 4-5 patties placed apart from each other - do not overcrowd the pan.
Cook the hash browns for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to gently flip them then fry them on the other side for another 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked patties onto a serving plate and repeat with the next batch, adding more olive oil.
Serve the hashbrowns with some sour cream or plain Greek yogurt as a dip. You can also enjoy it with this Cilantro Lime Tahini Sauce.
Notes
Gluten-Free Option: If you follow a gluten-free diet, you can replace the all-purpose flour with a .
When frying the hash browns, heat the skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to create a crispy exterior while ensuring that the inside cooks through evenly.
Remember to monitor the heat closely to prevent burning, as stove variations may require adjustments.
Avoid overcrowding the pan when frying the hash browns. Cook them in batches leaving enough space between each patty to ensure proper browning and crispiness.
Flatten the patties slightly to ensure even cooking and a uniform shape. You can use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently press down on each patty.
Flip the hash browns carefully to avoid breaking them apart. Use a thin spatula and flip them gently.
