Sweet Tater Hashbrowns

First off, Hanna was a big no show for us here in the low country! Thank G-d!

Last night, we had cube steak and sweet tater hash browns. They were simple, tasty, nutritious and something different.

You will need two medium white potatoes, peeled and grated, 1 large sweet potato, peeled and grated, 1 medium onion, sliced thinly. I used the box grater on the potatoes, using the large holes. This will give you that familiar shredded potato look. Saute all of this in a large skillet with a little oil of your choice. I also added 1 tablespoon of bacon grease (some people frown on this, so it is optional). Salt, pepper and garlic to taste.

Cook for about 30 minutes on medium high heat, then in the last ten minutes turn your heat to high and brown it all while turning the mixture. Be careful and do not burn it or you will have to trash it and start over.

This made an excellent savory side, but could easily be turned sweet by leaving the onion out and adding brown sugar and cinnamon, then topping with pecans!

The OHGTT gave this two thumbs up and the OHGTT in training was gumming all I would put in her mouth.

All the best!
