Frequently asked
Why do my sweet potato rösti never turn crispy?
It is almost always too much water left in the shreds. Sweet potato releases a lot of liquid as it fries, and that liquid steams instead of browning. Wring it out firmly and resist flipping the rösti too early, and the crust will come.
Can I bake the rösti instead of frying them?
Yes. Bake at 220 degrees fan on baking paper for about 25 minutes, turning them halfway through. They cook more evenly that way but come out a little less crisp than in the pan.
How do I make this recipe vegan?
Swap the quark for a soy based version and bind the mixture with two tablespoons of chickpea flour mixed with three tablespoons of water. Fried smoked tofu works in place of the eggs, which leaves you at around 30 g of protein per serving.
