True Food Kitchen Sweet Potato Hash: My Copycat Recipe (2024)

My favorite season is just about approaching! No, not "fall" so to speak. But rather, pumpkin and sweet potato season! Every day and every which way I will be craving those golden delicious flavors. So it always helps to have new ways to prepare my fave pumpkin and sweet potato ingredients.

Today's recipe serves up crispy golden cubes of sweet potatoes in a simple sweet potato hash that is a copycat recipe from a favorite dining spot: TruE Food Kitchen!..

So this is my favorite dish at TrueFood.. (And now I can make the hash at home if I want!)

Crispy Hash. Tiny cubes, some with the skins still on, a few crispy browned onion bits, a hint of garlic, salt and pepper too. These potatoes are so yummy and versatile. Serve them at breakfast, lunch or dinner. Serve them alongside just about anything for a dose of flavor, fiber, vitamin A and sweet potato coziness!

One of my favorite restaurants to dine out at here in Santa Monica California is called True Food Kitchen. It is the restaurant chain by Dr.Weil and restauranteur Sam Fox. The restaurant is not vegan or even vegetarian, but they do have a nice selection of vegan menu items. My absolute favorite is the TLT Sandwich featuring smoky tempeh bacon and avocado. You can get the sandwich served with either a side kale salad (say no cheese on top!) or sweet potato hash. I always get the sweet potato hash. The side dish is so unique and amazing yet incredibly simple in ingredients. The uniqueness, in my analysis, is all about the preparation. So I dove into my kitchen and decided to try and recreate the recipe so that I could make these delicious potatoes at home.

Ingredients

1 large sweet potato, diced (about 3 cups of cubes - leave skin on, or partially on)
1 small sweet or white onion, diced
2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
½ cup vegetable broth
2-3 teaspoon oil (I used virgin coconut oil, TrueFood uses grapeseed oil)
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
For the potato, wash and scrub skin very well to remove any grit. I scrape away about ¼ of the skin, leaving a partially peeled potato. The skins should be mostly kept on because they make the hash nice and crispy, and they also add fiber and nutrients!
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the vegetable broth, oil and garlic.
Pour the potato mixture in a glass baking dish and roast at 400 degrees until the potatoes are tender, but not mushy. Usually about 25-35 minutes.
Warm a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ½ teaspoon of oil. Add the onions and saute for about five minutes to soften.
Add the roasted potato mixture to the skillet, and toss the potatoes and garlic with the onions - add salt and pepper (to taste). Saute for at least ten minutes. You want the potatoes to brown and blacken and the onions to become crispy and very browned. The longer you saute the potatoes, the crispier they will become. Serve warm. (Note: YES, you could also just saute the ingredients if needed. About 20 minutes over medium-high heat. Then keep cooking on low until blackened to desired coloring.)
