I’ve been trying to mix up my breakfast choices a little more because I’m such a creature of habit. Smoothies and oatmeal are my usual choices. But there are many other plant-based recipes for breakfast. Have a look at the recipe index for some ideas. You won’t feel deprived at all when you make these hearty, delicious sweet potato hash browns.
Serve for breakfast or any meal of the day. Use the lighter sweet potato or the more orangish yams (actually I think they both are sweet potatoes.) As you may know, they are full of excellent plant-based nutrition.
The more color the better and you might be interested in a couple of videos on this healthy tuber from nutritionfacts.org (see below). It’s a great website with loads of great videos on nutrition studies. Click on the photos below to see each video. Any way you cook them, sweet potatoes are a great choice.
I'd love to hear your feedback in the comments below for this Sweet Potato Hash Browns recipe! If you have a photo, post it on my Facebook page, tag me using the hashtag #plantbasedcooking

- Preheat a large nonstick skillet and add the onions. Cook until they start to brown slightly.
- Add the pepper, potatoes and spices and continue to cook, turning frequently so as not to burn. If you need to, add a little water and cover to help the cooking process, but uncover and let the water evaporate before serving.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
I make these a lot, but I think it’s a must to crisp them up some. Not burn them, but crisp them. They’re so much better!
I agree! 😊 Do you have a trick for making this crispier?
