Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggs
50g harissa
200g Greek yogurt
handful micro herbs
500g sweet potato, peeled and grated
200g gluten-free flour
1 small pack parsley, chopped
4 egg whites
50g harissa
olive oil, for frying

Steps:

  • To make the potato cakes, squeeze the excess moisture from the sweet potato, then combine with flour, parsley, egg white, harissa and some salt in a bowl until the mixture sticks together. Shape into 8 potato cakes. Heat a little oil in a frying pan. In two batches, fry the potato cakes for 2-3 mins each side or until golden brown and crisp. Keep warm while you repeat with the remaining cakes.
  • Poach the eggs in a saucepan of simmering water for 2-3 mins - the yolks should be runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain carefully on kitchen paper.
  • Spread some harissa in the middle of four serving plates and top with a dollop of yogurt. Add one potato cake to each plate then sandwich another potato cake on top with more yogurt. Top each stack with the remaining yogurt and an egg. Season and drizzle with more harissa and scatter over the micro herbs.

HARISSA SWEET POTATO FRITTERS



Harissa Sweet Potato Fritters image

I had leftover sweet potatoes and had to think up a new way to use them. We love spice, so I flavored these fun fritters with harissa, just enough for flavor but not too spicy. If you want more heat, you can always adjust the spice to please your taste buds. -Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan
