By now you will know that I love sweet potato as I have posted quite a few sweet potato recipes. Today I went to cafe & checked the menu board before entering, I spotted a sweet potato dish, I was sold, I had to go in to have lunch there. When I ordered the dish that I wanted the waitress informed me that they had sold out. What?! She was joking right? No, she was serious & I was seriously annoyed for about 5 seconds, until I spotted a chicken & avocado club, which they were happy to make for me with no bread… they redeemed themselves & I was a happy customer!
After that I was left hankering for sweet potato all day so I came home & made these beautiful hash browns for dinner. I served them with smashed avocado with a freshly grilled chicken breast. I have also made these for breakfast & topped them with poached eggs which works really well. This recipe will make 10 small hash browns.
