Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Sweet potatoes
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Peel and coarsely grate the sweet potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Using a clean kitchen towel or muslin cloth, wrap the grated sweet potatoes and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid and return the sweet potatoes to the bowl.
Add the egg, flour, finely sliced green onions, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the bowl. Mix well to combine all the ingredients into a cohesive mixture.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Take small handfuls of the sweet potato mixture (approximately 3 tablespoons per rosti) and shape them into flat discs. Place them in the hot pan, leaving some space between each rosti.
Press each rosti gently with a spatula to flatten slightly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.
Repeat with the remaining sweet potato mixture, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.
Once cooked, place the rosti on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the sweet potato rosti warm, garnished with additional green onions, or with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on the side.
