Yield Makes 8 (small plate) servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound sweet potatoes
1 cup packed kimchi (7 ounces), very thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh serrano chiles (including seeds; amount depends on heat of kimchi)
1 cup thinly sliced scallions (from about 2 bunches)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
About 1/2 cup corn oil or lard
Accompaniment: soy-vinegar dipping sauce
Equipment: an adjustable-blade slicer

Steps:

  • Peel sweet potatoes and julienne using slicer (about 6 cups).
  • Stir potato together with remaining ingredients except oil. Let mixture stand at room temperature until wilted and moist, about 5 minutes, then stir again.
  • Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Filling a 1/3-cup measure halfway full with potato mixture for each pancake and working in batches of 5 or 6, tap out into oil, gently flattening pancakes with a spatula to about 1/4 inch thick. Cook until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip, adding a little more oil if necessary, and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Add oil to skillet between batches as needed. Serve warm, with dipping sauce.

Tips for Making Sweet Potato Pancakes:

  • Use the right potatoes. Look for firm, brightly colored sweet potatoes. Avoid any with blemishes or sprouts.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. You want them to be tender but not mushy. Test them by piercing them with a fork - they should be easy to pierce but still hold their shape.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the batter. This will help to ensure that the pancakes are smooth and evenly textured.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet or griddle. This will help to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Conclusion:

Sweet potato pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch option. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. The tips above will help you to make perfect sweet potato pancakes every time. So what are you waiting for? Give them a try today!
