Chilli and Sweet Potato Hash Browns
1 sweet potato
half an onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic
half a teaspoon of salt
one and a half teaspoons of paprika
dried chilli flakes to taste
an egg
Roughly grate the sweet potato onto a tea towel and squeeze it to get rid of excess liquid. Put the potato in a bowel and do the same with the finely chopped onion. And add the salt, chilli, paprika, and garlic (feel free to use a different amount of any of these), and stir. In a measuring jug, beat the egg, and add a little to the mixture, stirring, until it sticks together- you want to use about half of the beaten egg.
Heat up a thick-bottomed frying pan and add a glug of oil. How you cook the hash browns is up to you: you can throw it all in and stir, or throw it all in and smooth it so that it forms a sort of cake, making sure to flip about half-way through. I tend to make small balls of the mixture and cook them in batches. But they're all good. They're incredible with bacon, and they'd do great with eggs. They're great: kind-of-healthy but still hash browns.
Fuck yeah.
