Sweet potato is full of skin friendly vitamins and minerals. Vitamin A is particularly high and helps with skin healing, perfect for those who need support in this way. In these rostis you can use any type of sweet potato, we have tried it with both purple and orange and both work well. We also love these as a snack, just top with your favourite topping, some avocado or sauerkraut and enjoy!

Sweet Potato Rostis

Makes 8

INGREDIENTS
2 medium sweet potatos (kumara), grated (produces approx 6 cups)
4 spring onions, finely chopped
3-4 eggs, lightly beaten (4 if small eggs)
A handful of basil or parsley (or mixture of both) – optional
2 tablespoon of rice flour
Himalayan salt and cracked black pepper
Olive oil (for brushing)

FOR ONE SERVING
75g smoked salmon
1/2 to 1 cup spinach leaves
Fresh basil
1/4 cup of pickled beetroot

DRESSING TO SERVE
Creamy Avo Sauce

METHOD
Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius.

Line an oven tray with baking paper and brush with olive oil.

Grate the sweet potato – either by hand or in a food processor. Place in a large mixing bowl and add all other ingredients. Mix well.

Place large spoonfuls of the mixture on to the prepared baking tray and flatten. Ideally they should be 10 to 12 centimetres in diameter.

After 10 minutes of cooking brush them with a little olive oil and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.

Serve 2 rostis with other ingredients listed.

This meal can be made vegetarian by swapping the protein for a plant based option. It can not be made vegan as there is no replacement for the eggs in the Sweet Potato Rostis. We would instead recommend for those who follow a vegan diet to just cube and roast the sweet potatoes instead of making rostis.
