Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling two medium sweet potatoes. Use a grater to shred them into a bowl, then let them rest for about 5 minutes to drain excess moisture.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow the oil to shimmer, which indicates it’s hot enough for frying.
  3. Carefully add the grated sweet potatoes to the heated skillet, spreading them out evenly. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 10 minutes.
  4. Once your sweet potatoes are nicely caramelized, stir in the chopped Granny Smith apples along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  5. Adjust the heat as necessary to achieve your preferred level of crispiness; if you desire even crispier hash browns, transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F for about 10 minutes.
  6. Serve these delightful Caramelized Sweet Potato Apple Hash Browns hot, optionally topped with a fried or poached egg for added richness.
