Chili Spiked Sweet Potato and Scallion Rösti Recipe
A rösti is like a giant latka but Swedish. This rösti is baked, making it a little healthier then its fried cousin. Serve this as a simple side dish any night or top it with a sharply dressed arugula salad or a poached egg for a light meal. It is sweet and savory and all delicious. Cut it into wedges to serve.

Grate the sweet potatoes on a box grater, I use the fine grater disk on my food processor. Place the grated sweet potato in a large bowl and squeeze it with paper towel to get some water out. Add the minced green onion, egg, maple syrup and chili powder, salt and pepper.

Mound the sweet potato into a circle about 10-12-inch where the oil is. Spray the top of the roost with the oil spray.

Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. The edges will be darkened and crisp. Remove from the oven, place a second piece of parchment on top of the rösti. Using a second sheet (flip the sheet up side down so that it nest into the first sheet), flip the 2 sheets over together so that the rösti is now on the second sheet, and peel off the bottom parchment which is now at the top. Using the now bottom parchment sheet, slide the rösti back onto the original cookie sheet (right side up). Bake for another 20-25 minutes.

An Italian cheesecake is typically made with ricotta cheese. It is not overly sweet and slightly drier than a traditional cheesecake. This cake is best made the day before you want to serve it. The Blackberry Coulis really adds a nice touch. You can use frozen raspberries if you can find blackberries.
