- Ready In:
- 18mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
18-20 2 inch pancakes
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 3 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1⁄3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- vegetable oil or cooking spray, for frying
- sour cream
- salsa
- applesauce
directions
- In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, green onions, eggs, flour, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour enough vegetable oil into a large skillet to coat the bottom or use cooking spray. Place over medium heat just until a drop of water sizzles when it hits the pan. Add the sweet potato mixture to the hot oil by heaping spoonfuls about 1 in (2 cm) apart. Press each pancake lightly so that it sticks together. Cook about 2 minutes per side, turning over once, until brown and crisp on both sides and the sweet potatoes are tender right through. (Taste one to make sure they're done.) Remove to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and place in a 300F (150C) oven to keep warm while you cook the rest of the pancakes.
- Serve hot with sour cream, salsa or applesauce as an accompaniment.

I really enjoyed these...maybe a little too much! I was a little short on the sweet potato so I subbed some regular, and threw in a few cloves of garlic since I had them handy. I also cut down the salt by half which was plenty seasoned for me. I like them best small and flattened out quite a bit....but next time I might play around with cooking it like Rosti, as one big one. Quite delicious I thought!
