SWEET-POTATO PANCAKES



Sweet-Potato Pancakes image

Categories     Cake     Potato     Side

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled
3 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil, such as safflower
Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Coarsely grate sweet potatoes on the large holes of a box grater (or use a food processor fitted with the shredding blade). Transfer to a large bowl; stir in scallions, eggs, flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Using a packed 1/4-cup measure per pancake, divide potato mixture into 12 portions, placing them on a baking sheet. Form each into a firm ball with your hands, then flatten into 3/4-inch-thick cakes.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium until shimmering. Using a metal spatula, carefully place 6 pancakes in skillet; flatten to about 1/2 inch thick. Cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer pancakes to a paper towel-lined platter; sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining cakes. Serve hot, with sour cream alongside, if desired.

Tips:

  • Select the right sweet potatoes: Choose firm and brightly colored sweet potatoes without blemishes or soft spots.
  • Use a good grater: A box grater with large holes will give you the best results for shredding the sweet potatoes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixed batter can make the pancakes tough. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help prevent the pancakes from sticking and make them easier to flip.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Flip the pancakes carefully: Sweet potato pancakes are delicate, so be careful when flipping them. Use a wide pancake turner to gently flip the pancakes.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Sweet potato pancakes are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato pancakes are a delicious and healthy breakfast or brunch option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their natural sweetness and nutritional value, sweet potato pancakes are a great way to start your day. Enjoy!
