I LOVE potatoes! Must be my Irish heritage. White potatoes are rich in potassium and vitamin C. With the skin, add 2 grams of fiber too. Sweet potatoes also provide a good kick of vitamin A. Today I am cooking with a bit of both.
I love potatoes prepared just about any way, but today, I thought I would try some crispy hash brown-like potato pancakes.
I grated a couple white potatoes and a large sweet potato, added a couple of egg whites, a bit of curry powder, paprika, salt and pepper and made up some yummy hash brown cakes…
I use a mild curry powder to give the potatoes just a bit of spice. {FODMAPers choose an onion free curry powder}
I formed rounded cakes and popped them in a skillet with a bit of olive oil over medium heat.
I like to serve these hash brown cakes with a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt and a few chopped cilantro leaves…YUM!
Crispy Sweet Potato Hash Brown Cakes
Ingredients
- Makes about 10-12 pancakes
- 1 large sweet potato, skin removed and grated
- 2 medium white potatoes, skinned and grated
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 tsp curry powder ( the brand I posted has some onion-choose a onion free variety if you are particularly sensitive to onion or on low FODMAP diet) Laxmi or spice appeal brand have onion free varieties.
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- dash of salt and pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil for skillet
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Blend ingredients and form about 1/3 cup of mixture into rounded patties.
- Cook hash brown cakes for about 4 minutes or until nicely browned on each side.
- Serve with a tablespoon of Greek plain yogurt and cilantro, if desired.
{This recipe is FODMAP-friendly-for 1-2 hash brown cakes per sitting. Sweet potatoes are a source of mannitol, a polyol but small amounts such as less than 1/2 a cup is considered low FODMAP. White potatoes are low FODMAP)

Hope you like them Kristi. You can season the sweet potato hash brown cakes with other spices too–cinnamon for a sweeter flavor or simple salt and pepper.
