Ingredients

for 10 pieces

Sweet potatoes
400 g sweet potatoes, coarsely grated
1 tsp salt
Tarts
2 tbsp Maizena cornflour
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp dried oregano

How it's done

Sweet potatoes

Mix the sweet potatoes with the salt, place in a sieve over a bowl and leave to absorb for approx. 15 mins. Squeeze the sweet potatoes well and transfer to a bowl. Leave the resulting liquid to stand for approx. 10 mins. so that the starch can settle at the bottom of the bowl. Carefully pour out the liquid, add the separated starch to the sweet potatoes.

Tarts

Mix the cornflour, oil, oregano and pepper into the sweet potatoes. Line a baking tray with baking paper, brush the baking paper with a little oil. Divide the mixture into 10 portions, place on the paper, shape into round tarts using a round cutter (approx. 6 cm in diameter).

To bake

Bake for approx. 20 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 200°C. Turn the tarts carefully, cook for a further 15 mins.
