Sweet Potato Rosti

1 pound sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

6 ounces crumbled goat cheese

2 eggs, beaten

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Peel and grate the sweet potatoes; place in a clean cloth and squeeze out the excess liquid; transfer to a large bowl.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the onion and garlic in the hot oil until soft; transfer to the bowl with the drained sweet potato; add about 2/3 of the goat cheese and the beaten eggs; mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 even portions and shape into balls with your hands and then flatten them to about 1/2 inch thickness. Arrange the patties onto a baking sheet.

Roast in the preheated oven until golden brown; about 25 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining goat cheese over the patties and return to oven to melt the cheese, about 5 minutes more.
