How do I get my sweet potato rostis crispy?

Squeezing out most of the liquid from the grated raw sweet potato before mixing helps achieve a crispy texture when frying.

Can I adjust the spice level in this recipe?

Yes, you can increase or decrease the dried red chili flakes to suit your preference for more or less heat.

What can I serve with these Spicy Sweet Potato Rostis?

These rostis are best served hot with a dollop of vegan yogurt or vegan sour cream for a cooling contrast.

Do I need both cornflour and all-purpose flour for the rostis?

Both flours are used to bind the sweet potato mixture together, ensuring the patties hold their shape and crisp up nicely during frying.

How should I store leftover sweet potato rostis?

Store cooled leftover rostis in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or oven for crispness.
