Poached egg on a sweet potato pancake

4 servings

40 minutes

A recipe from Maxim Sorokin, chef of the restaurant "Soyka Napela". Tropical notes appear in this unusual presentation of a classic breakfast. The sweet potato gives the pancakes a sweetish taste, so it seems that some exotic fruit has been added to them. And the scattering of sesame seeds on the glossy surface of the reddish-turmeric mayonnaise looks like passion fruit pulp.
