10 WEEK CHALLENGE APPROVED
Ever wanted the perfect replacement for a bun that is a little more substantial than lettuce? or just want something to soak up the yolk from your perfect poached eggs? Look no further!
Kumara (sweet potato!) hashbrowns are the perfect stand in, that stands out!
I personally love these on their own with some homemade mayo but they are the perfect accompaniment for a variety of dishes. I also find these easier to make than regular potato hashbrowns.
This is one of our favourite 10 Week Challenge recipes and our clients LOVE it! It’s hard to believe you can eat food like this and lose weight.
The key to a super crispy result is a very hot non-stick pan with a good layer of coconut oil in the bottom. Add your hot mix to the pan and watch it crisp up like a dream. I would also recommend the kumara variety with purple skin and white flesh as this yields a crispier outcome. Orange kumara isn’t as starchy so doesn’t go quite so crisp.

Ingredients
| ![]() |
- In a bowl, mix together your kumara, egg, salt, garlic powder and pepper until well combined. Sometimes it may feel like there isn't enough egg, however usually after sitting a little while the mixture releases some extra moisture.
- Heat a non stick pan over a medium-high heat with a good amount of coconut oil and place a heaped tablespoon of mixture into the pan. Repeat to fill the pan. If you want a crispy result, do not overcrowd the pan. I usually do them in batches of 3.
- Cook until golden then flip and repeat. They usually take around 2 minutes per side but this will vary dependent on your stovetop.
- Serve as desired!
