Sweet Potato Rosti with Poached Egg & Fresh Spinach Purée

Spice up your boring breakfast by giving this Sweet Potato Rosti with Poached Egg & Fresh Spinach Purée a try!

First to make the rostis, grate half a sweet potato and squeeze out as much water as possible. You will end up with approximately one cup of grated potatoes. Transfer to a bowl and mix with a quarter teaspoon of dried rosemary, a quarter teaspoon of garlic powder and sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

In a frying pan, heat up one teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil. Divide the potato mixture in two and form into balls. Once oil is hot, reduce heat and place potato balls in the pan and press down to flatten them, forming two pancakes. Cover and cook for two minutes on each side.

In a blender, add one cup of baby spinach, two teaspoons of lemon juice and half a teaspoon of basil paste. Blend well and set aside.

Once rostis are golden brown on each side, remove from pan and plate. Spread half of the spinach mixture over top of each pancake and top with poached egg. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
