# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • They satisfy that crispy breakfast craving without the heavy feeling of traditional fried hash browns
  • The sweet potato brings natural sweetness that plays beautifully with savory seasonings
  • You can meal prep them and reheat throughout the week for quick breakfasts
02 -
  • Squeezing out the moisture from the sweet potatoes is nonnegotiable for crispy results
  • Don't crowd the baking sheet or they will steam instead of crisp up properly
  • Let them cool slightly on the pan before moving them or they might fall apart
03 -
  • Use the large holes on your box grater rather than the small ones for better texture
  • If your patties still feel wet after squeezing, add another tablespoon of chickpea flour
