Sweet Potato Hashbrowns

Sweet potato hashbrowns topped with a fried egg is my go-to and favorite Whole30 breakfast.  And they are as easy as 1, 2, 3!
If you could only buy one new tool for your kitchen during your Whole30, I would recommend buying a Salad Shooter.  They are not too pricy and it slices and grates, giving the perfect shreds for hashbrowns.  
Here are the guidelines to making crispy delicious sweet potato hashbrowns.

Sweet Potato Hashbrowns

1. Peel  sweet potatoes, removing all outside skin.  
   
2. Grate or shred sweet potatoes.
   
3. Cook sweet potatoes in a heated skillet with coconut oil for about 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy*.  Salt and pepper to taste.
   

*Giving your sweet potatoes plenty of room to cook will allow them to get crispy.  If your pan is too crowded, they will not crisp up. 

Depending on your skillet size and sweet potato amount, it will take about 20 minutes.  I’ll cover the sweet potatoes with a lid for the first 10 minutes and then leave them uncovered after flipping them halfway through.  If you're having a hard time getting them crispy, try adding more oil to your batch or less potatoes.  We usually shred enough for the week and store in a glass jar in the fridge until we're ready for more. 

Enjoy!

Canned Cinnamon Applesauce

Per request, here is my first recipe post for Round 2.
I don't know about you, but I don't love store bought applesauce.  The taste and texture are just not great to me.  But I love my mom's homemade slightly chunky canned cinnamon applesauce so I was super happy to be able to can some with her this fall, this time making a batch of Whole30 no sugar compliant just for me.  It was a lot easier than I thought and turned out great!  If you don't have canning equipment, just make a much smaller batch and keep in the refrigerator, eating immediately.  Golden Delicious apples are naturally sweet which makes them a great choice for an unsweetened applesauce.  You can mash the apples, use a blender, or the easiest way is with an immersion blender.  Hope you enjoy!
