Sweet Potato Hash Browns (Video)

I’ve been trying to mix up my breakfast choices a little more because I’m such a creature of habit and these Sweet Potato Hash Browns hit the spot. Smoothies and oatmeal variations are my usual choices since they are so quick, filling, and nutrient-dense. But there are many other plant-based recipes for breakfast and this Sweet Potato Hash Brown recipe is one of them.

Have a look at the recipe index for some other breakfast ideas. You won’t feel deprived at all when you make these hearty, delicious sweet potato hash browns.

Toasty, sweet, smoky, and savory…..overall just satisfying. This recipe doesn’t use oil to keep this authentically no fat dish to splurge on.

Sweet Potato Hash Browns

Serve for breakfast or any meal of the day. Use the lighter sweet potato or the bright orange yams (actually I think they both are sweet potatoes.) As you may know, they are full of excellent plant-based nutrition.

Not only are these babies dynamic, but sweet spuds also offer a super-packed powerful punch of plant-based nutrition. Sweet potatoes (and yams) are an excellent source of vitamin A, in the form of beta-carotene, which is what feeds and nourishes our skin.

They are also a very good source of fiber, vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid, and vitamin B6. Additionally, they are a good source of potassium (which makes sweet potatoes a great post-workout snack), niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and phosphorus.

Look no further! Here are a few more sweet potato recipes:

  • Cauliflower Sweet Potato Mash
  • Sweet Potato Veggie Lasagna
  • Sweet Potatoes with Swiss Chard
  • Greek Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
  • Black Bean Sweet Potato Quesadilla

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 Instagram page, tag me using the hashtag #plantbasedcooking in your caption, and I won’t miss it!

    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!

        Hey Gary, I understand your frustration. It’s hard to make sweet potato crispy without oil. I’ve tried it with baked “fries” and haven’t had much luck. You could leave them in the pan longer and don’t crowd the pan as much. Or, try an air fryer. I have a new one and it’ll be a good recipe to test. Maybe someone will chime in and make another suggestion.

    Thank you for sharing! I love this recipe, especially baked in the oven. I bake them at 400° for 45 – 50 minutes, stirring once halfway through. It frees me up to do other things while they’re baking, like emptyting the dishwasher and drinking coffee.???? A chopped jalapeno can be a nice addition if you have one handy.
