Sweet Potato And Parmesan Cake Recipes

SWEET-POTATO AND PARMESAN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Shave potatoes lengthwise into long, wide ribbons with a vegetable peeler and toss strips with remaining ingredients. Lightly oil a 9-inch metal pie pan. Arrange strips in overlapping layers radiating from center, letting slices overhang slightly if necessary.
• Bake in lower third of oven until edges are browned, then cover edges with foil and bake until potatoes are tender and top of cake is crisp and brown, 45 to 50 minutes total.

SWEET POTATO CAKES WITH POACHED EGGS

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.
