Recipe Review
Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT
I love sweet potatoes, and so was excited to try this recipe. As with southerncooker, I was unable to "swirl the pan" to compact them into a single mass. In fact, even with my spatula, I couldn't get them to be a single patty of hashed potatoes. When I flipped them with my spatula, the pieces fell apart.
But oh - the flavor! So buttery, and the earthy sweet flavor of the sweet potatoes was great. Yum.
I used my well seasoned cast iron pan, but perhaps the technique here required a true non-stick pan.
Update: I tried the Ad Hoc strategy of rinsing the shredded sweet potatoes and then coating with corn starch. This helped them stay as cakes much better than the zuni recipe - but it turns out my kids prefer non-caked, just shredded browned sweet potatoes.
