This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Mclean Estate in Irving, Texas in 1982.

Method
1
Place the grated sweet potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
2
Add the egg yolks, all-purpose flour, ground nutmeg, salt, white pepper, and chopped parsley to the sweet potatoes. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture holds together slightly.
3
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it foams and begins to brown, approximately 2 minutes.
2 minutes
4
Working with about ¼ cup of the mixture at a time, gently flatten into patties and slide them into the hot butter. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
5
Cook the hash browns for 4–5 minutes on the first side without moving them, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crust.
5 minutes
6
Flip each hash brown carefully and cook the second side for another 3–4 minutes until golden and crispy.
4 minutes
7
Transfer the cooked hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess butter.
8
In a small saucepan, combine the dark brown sugar and bourbon whiskey over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely to create a glaze, about 2 minutes.

9
Arrange the hash browns on a serving platter and drizzle with the warm bourbon-brown sugar glaze. Serve immediately.
