A brilliant variation on regular potato pancakes, this is a great way to get your kids hooked on sweet potatoes. Very tasty served with salsa, sour cream or apple sauce. From Today's Parent. 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:
1. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, green onions, eggs, flour, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
2. 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.
3. Serve hot with sour cream, salsa or applesauce as an accompaniment.
