Sweet Potato Pancakes
"This is a modified recipe from the book The Flavor of Wisconsin For Kids. Theirs is just white potatoes, but I used half sweet potatoes and it was very good. You need about 1-1/2 lbs of potatoes altogether."
- Ready In:
- 21mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
8 3" pancakes
ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled
- 2 medium baking potatoes, peeled
- 1⁄3 cup flour or 1/3 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- coconut oil (for frying)
directions
- Grate the potatoes with the large whole of your food processor (or on the large whole of a box grater).
- Place potatoes into a kitchen towel and squeeze as much water out as you can.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add the potatoes; mix well.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients, except for oil, and mix into the potatoes.
- Put coconut oil into a large (preferably cast iron) skillet and heat on medium for 3 minutes. You should have enough to cover the bottom about 1/8 inch up. Test with a drop of water. If it sizzles, it's ready.
- Add 1/3 cup of potato mixture to the skillet (you should fit 4-5 in a large skillet) and press down with the cup or a wooden spoon. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Drain on a paper towel lined plate. Keep warm in oven if preferred, while cooking the last batch.
- Serve with butter, applesauce, or syrup. My son eats them with ketchup.

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
