SOUTHWESTERN SWEET POTATO HASH BROWNS
WITH PICO DE GALLO AND AVOCADO

The ancho chile and spices give these sweet potato hash browns a classic Southwestern flavor. The pico de gallo adds more heat, while the avocado cools it all down.

TO MAKE THE PICO DE GALLO

TO MAKE THE HASH BROWNS

1. Cut the sweet potato spirals crosswise into ½-inch pieces.

2. In a large bowl, toss together the sweet potato, scallions, ancho chile, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.

3. In a large sauté pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

4. Spread out the sweet potato mixture on the bottom of the pan and cook, without stirring, until it browns on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more.

5. Serve topped with the avocado and pico de gallo.
