Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and grating the sweet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Chop the Granny Smith apple into small cubes. Let the grated sweet potatoes sit in a colander for about 10 minutes to allow excess moisture to drain.
  2. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the grated sweet potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out evenly. Cook undisturbed for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Stir in the chopped Granny Smith apples along with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until both sweet potatoes and apples are tender and caramelized.
  5. Check for desired crispiness; if needed, finish cooking in a preheated oven at 400°F for an additional 10 minutes. Serve hot.
