Instructions
To make the potato cakes, squeeze the excess moisture from the sweet potato , then combine with flour , parsley , egg whites , harissa and some salt in a bowl until the mixture sticks together. Shape into 8 potato cakes. Heat a little oil in a frying pan. In two batches, fry the potato cakes for 2-3 mins each side or until golden brown and crisp. Keep warm while you repeat with the remaining cakes.
Poach the eggs in a saucepan of simmering water for 2-3 mins - the yolks should be runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain carefully on kitchen paper.
Spread some harissa in the middle of four serving plates and top with a dollop of yogurt . Add one potato cake to each plate then sandwich another potato cake on top with more yogurt . Top each stack with the remaining yogurt and an egg. Season and drizzle with more harissa and scatter over the micro herbs.
