400g sweet potatoes, scrubbed, skins left on, coarsely grated
1 bunch Essential Salad Onions, finely chopped, green and white parts separated
75g plain flour
75ml olive oil
180g pack baby beetroot with horseradish, chopped
3 tbsp Essential Greek Style Yogurt
1 unwaxed lemon, zest, juice of ½, the rest in wedges
150g Essential Smoked Mackerel Fillets, skinned
50g watercress

Mix the sweet potatoes and white parts of the salad onions with a pinch of salt. Scrunch together to release some moisture, then stir in the flour to create a thick, pliable mixture.
With wet hands, divide the mixture into 4 patties, around 2cm thick. Pour 1cm oil into a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes each side, until golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.
Meanwhile, mix the green parts of the salad onions, the beetroot, yogurt, lemon zest and juice together in a bowl with a pinch of ground black pepper.
Put the röstis on 2 plates, spoon over the creamy horseradish beets and flake the mackerel over the top. Add the watercress and the lemon wedges, then serve.

Cook’s tip

These potato röstis are also delicious with a weekend fry-up. For a cheat’s version, try a 300g pack potato röstis, cooked according to pack instructions.
