🍽 Ingredients

• 1 medium Sweet potatoes
• 4 ounces Extra-firm tofu
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

📖 Instructions

1. First things first, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial for getting those perfectly crispy edges!
2. Wash and peel your sweet potatoes. Then, use a grater to shred them into a large mixing bowl. Don't worry about being super precise here; rustic is totally fine!
3. Next, crumble your extra-firm tofu into the bowl with the sweet potatoes. The extra-firm tofu holds its shape better than other varieties, which will give you nice, defined pieces in your hash browns.
4. Add your seasonings! I like to use about a teaspoon of garlic powder, half a teaspoon of onion powder, a generous pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Feel free to add your fave herbs here, too—I'm a huge fan of paprika!
5. Now, give everything a really good stir to combine the sweet potatoes, tofu, and seasoning evenly. You should have a lovely, well-coated mixture.
6. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add about a tablespoon or two of olive oil or your preferred cooking oil. Once it's shimmering, it's ready to go!
7. Carefully spoon the sweet potato and tofu mixture into the hot skillet. Spread it out into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick. Try not to overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
8. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy. You’ll know they're done when they’re easily lifted from the pan with a spatula.
9. Once cooked, carefully transfer your glorious hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. I usually pat them gently with some paper towels, as well.
10. Serve them up hot and enjoy! They're delicious on their own, or you can serve them with eggs, avocado, or a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. So many yummy options!

📝 Notes

• For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of your favorite spices!
• Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of oil; coconut oil gives the hash browns a nice, tropical flavor!
