Time 45m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Shred the sweet potatoes, and place in a colander to drain for about 10 minutes. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, white sugar, brown sugar, curry powder and cumin. Make a well in the center, and pour in eggs and milk. Stir until all of the dry ingredients have been absorbed. Stir in sweet potatoes.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop the potato mixture by spoonfuls into the oil, and flatten with the back of the spoon. Fry until golden on both sides, flipping only once. If they are browning too fast, reduce the heat to medium. Remove from the oil, and keep warm while the other pancakes are frying.

Yield Makes 15 cakes; serves 5

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 tablespoons cumin seeds
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds*
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Pinch of fennel seeds
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon canola oil
2 to 3 white onions, chopped (4 cups)
2 1/2 pounds red yams or sweet potatoes, grated (4 cups)
5 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1 large egg, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts, for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, fennel seeds, and ginger in a small bowl. Stir well to blend.
  • In a large sauté pan set over medium heat, heat the 1/4 cup oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized to a golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the spice mixture. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to toast the spices. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the yams, flour, egg, and salt, and mix well to combine. Form the mixture into cakes that are about 3 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick, and put them on a baking sheet.
  • Set a skillet over medium-low heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Working in batches, sauté the cakes for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. They are done when they are a crispy golden brown and the sweet potato is cooked through.
  • Serve warm, topped with the yogurt and scallions.

Tips:

  • For a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch. The cornstarch will help the pancakes brown beautifully while keeping them soft and tender on the inside.
  • To ensure even cooking, make sure the sweet potato mixture is spread evenly in the pan. Use a spoon or spatula to smooth out the batter before cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the pancakes in batches if necessary to avoid steaming rather than frying.
  • Be patient when flipping the pancakes. Wait until the edges are golden brown and bubbles form on the surface before attempting to flip. This will prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include butter, syrup, honey, yogurt, or fruit.

Conclusion:

These crunchy sweet potato pancakes are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them crispy or fluffy, sweet or savory, these pancakes are sure to please. So next time you're looking for a breakfast or brunch recipe that's both healthy and satisfying, give these crunchy sweet potato pancakes a try.
