Cinnamon Sweet Potato Hash Browns

On a Saturday morning when my Dad was visiting, I fixed brunch and whipped these sweet potato has hash browns up on   a whim.   After that first taste, they have quickly become a staple for our weekend brunch.  

Instead of white potatoes, this recipe makes use of   richly colored and flavored garnet yams. Yams are a good source of the antioxidant beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium and manganese. As you'll recall from our discussions on fat soluble vitamins, beta carotene is not true vitamin A; rather, it must be converted by your body into vitamin A and the human body is grossly inefficient at converting the nutrient into vitamin A.
