Made these for the first time for my morning meal prep and they are so yummy and keep me full! Will definitely be making these again.
Could I use all sweet potato for this recipe instead of the hashbrowns?! If so, how many sweet potatoes do you recommend in total?! Thanks!
Hi Jo, You’ll need about 1.5 sweet potatoes (or 550g) if eliminating the hash browns in this one.
Has anyone tried freezing these?
