Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and grating two medium sweet potatoes, letting the shreds rest in a bowl to drain excess moisture. Chop one tart apple, such as a Granny Smith, into small cubes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of your preferred cooking oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
  3. Allow the grated sweet potatoes to cook undisturbed for about 10 minutes, maintaining medium heat, until they are golden brown.
  4. Gently stir in the chopped apples and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, until both the sweet potatoes and apples are tender and caramelized.
  5. Adjust the heat as needed, allowing the hash browns to sizzle for a few extra minutes until golden perfection is reached.
