Method
- Roast your sweet potatoes in the oven for 20 mins at 180 degrees. They are ready when you can easily insert the point of a knife into the centre.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and allow to cool, then peel away the skin. Place the sweet potato into a bowl and mash well.
- Separate four of the eggs, placing the yolks with the sweet potato mix and the whites into a separate bowl.
- Add the milk to the sweet potato and stir together, mixing well.
- Season the sweet potato mix with the jerk, salt and pepper.
- Add flour to the pancake batter and stir to combine.
- Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the pancake batter.
- Heat a frying pan, then add a knob of butter and a touch of rapeseed oil.
- Place a small ladle of pancake batter into the skillet and cook until bubbles start to rise to the surface.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Stack the pancakes aside and cover to keep warm.
- Add some extra oil to the skillet and fry the remaining four eggs.
- Whilst the eggs are cooking, mix the harissa and yoghurt together.
- Stack the sweet potato pancakes on plates, top with fried eggs and a little harissa yoghurt. Finish each stack with a wedge of lime and a sprinkling of spring onion.
