Description

Full of flavour, these little cakes are an original slant on the classic rösti. Make in advance then assemble just in time to enjoy!

Method

Step 1 of 4

Place the whole, peeled sweet potato in a small pan of cold salted water, bring to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes. Drain, cool, and coarsely grate the potato onto a plate. In a large bowl, mix together all the röstiingredients except the oil.

Step 2 of 4

Heat a large frying pan with a little oil. Shape 1 rösti into a small patty and fry in the oil for 1-2 minutes on each side just to check the seasoning. (This way you can see if more salt and pepper is needed.)

Step 3 of 4

Now fry röstis in 2 batches, using a teaspoon and your fingers to help place the little mounds of sweet potato in the pan. Flatten as they cook. Make sure there is always a small amount of oil in the frying pan. Keep the heat medium-low so röstis do not burn. Allow to cool before topping.

Step 4 of 4

For the pesto, place all the ingredients into a food processor or chop finely by hand to combine well. For the garnish, place 1 small tsp ofcrème fraîche and some pesto on top of each rösti.
