These were a nice change of pace from typical potato pancakes and add a touch of specialness to a holiday meal! The onions really offset the sweetness of the potatoes and the thyme adds just the right touch! Really enjoyable! Thanks for sharing. -
Lovely! Three of my favorite things in one delightful pancake! I used sweet onions and fresh thyme and added some salt and pepper to the batter. -
A nutritious and attractive side dish. I used yams instead of sweet potatoes, for more of an african feel, and sweet yellow onions. It would be interesting to know more of the history of this dish - I would have guessed american just by the taste. -
This was a big hit with my family, my sons loved them. Followed directions exactly and they turned out great. Thank You. Made for ZWT7~Emerald City Shakers. -
What a great savory pancake. I love pancakes and these rock. I must confess that I misread the ingriedents. I shredded cooked sweet potatoes instead of raw, it worked really well in your recipe. I can't wait to try it properly. The pancakes were quick and very easy to make with great results. Made for ZWT7 (Witchin Kitchen)
