For the spicy sweet potato hash browns:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 4 cups / 450g), peeled and grated
  • 1/2 red or yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup (40g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs

For the spicy sweet potato hash browns:

  1. Peel and grate the sweet potatoes on the large holes of a box grater.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato, the onion, flour, eggs, harissa, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined, making sure the harissa spreads evenly in the mixture.
