For the Rosti
  • 2 large Sweet Potatoes Provides the base and natural sweetness; swap with regular potatoes for a different flavor.
  • 1 large Free-range Egg Binds the ingredients together; any egg can substitute if needed.
  • ½ cup Self-Raising Gluten-Free Flour Ensures a light, fluffy texture; can be replaced with regular flour for those not avoiding gluten.
  • ¼ cup Mixed Seeds Adds a nutty crunch and nutrition; feel free to use your favorite nuts or seeds instead.
  • ½ cup Grated Mature Cheddar Cheese Delivers rich flavor; opt for a dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil Used for frying to achieve that perfect crisp; any cooking oil works well too.
For the Salad
  • 1 tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar Offers a tangy kick to the salad; apple cider vinegar works as a great substitute.
  • 1 medium Cucumber Adds freshness and a lovely crunch; you can substitute with other salad vegetables.
  • 2 cups Little Gem Lettuce Provides crispy, refreshing bites; use any leafy greens you prefer.
  • ½ cup Cottage Cheese Introduces creaminess and protein; Greek yogurt is a great alternative if you're looking for a swap.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sweet Potato Rosti
  1. Begin by peeling the sweet potatoes, ensuring you remove all skin. Next, grate the sweet potatoes using a box grater or food processor, aiming for fine shreds. Set aside to release excess moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the grated sweet potatoes, egg, flour, mixed seeds, and grated cheese. Mix everything until combined for a sticky texture.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Shape the mixture into patties, then fry 2-3 patties for 3-4 minutes until golden and crisp.
  4. After flipping, sprinkle extra cheese on top and cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese melts and creates a savory layer.
  5. Prepare the salad by tossing lettuce, cucumber, and cottage cheese together, drizzling with vinegar and salt to taste.
  6. Serve the crispy rostis alongside the vibrant salad and enjoy this delightful meal.
