SWEET POTATO PANCAKES



Sweet Potato Pancakes image

Crisp potato pancakes called latkes are part of Hanukkah celebrations. We've kept the traditional frying method (and sour cream to go with them), but refreshed the recipe by trading white potatoes and onions for sweet potatoes and scallions.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegetarian Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled
3 scallions, finely chopped
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
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 a shredding blade). Transfer to a large bowl; stir in scallions, eggs, flour, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Using a packed 1/4-cup measure of potato mixture per pancake, shape into 12 mounds. With hands, form each into a firm ball; transfer to a baking sheet. With palm, flatten balls into 3/4-inch-thick cakes.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium until hot (see note, below). Using a metal spatula with a thin blade, carefully transfer 6 cakes to 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 plate; sprinkle with coarse salt. Repeat with remaining cakes. Serve immediately, with sour cream, if desired.

SWEET POTATO PANCAKES WITH APPLESAUCE AND DILL SOUR CREAM



Sweet Potato Pancakes with Applesauce and Dill Sour Cream image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Time 30m

Yield 8 to 10 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled
1 small onion
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 large eggs, beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
3/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Applesauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Grate the sweet potatoes and onion on the coarse holes of a box grater directly into a large bowl. Add the flour, thyme, paprika, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. The oil is ready when you stick a shred of sweet potato in and it sizzles immediately. Scoop out the batter with a 1/3-cup measure and press firmly into thin patties, about 4 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick. Set the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should have 8 to 10 patties.
  • Slide as many patties as will fit comfortably into the oil. Fry the patties until cooked through and golden brown on both sides (flip carefully with a spatula and fork or spoon to help guide them without splashing the oil), 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining patties. (You can keep the first batch warm in the oven at 250 degrees F, if you like, while you cook the rest.) Season with salt while still warm.
  • To serve, combine the sour cream and dill in a small serving bowl. Serve the warm pancakes with the dill sour cream and a dish of applesauce.

Tips:

  • Use ripe yams: Look for yams that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid yams that are soft or have bruises or cuts.
  • Peel the yams before cooking: To peel a yam, use a sharp knife to make a slit down the length of the yam. Then, use your fingers to peel the skin away from the flesh.
  • Boil the yams until they are tender: Place the peeled yams in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the yams are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Mash the yams until smooth: Once the yams are tender, drain them and mash them until smooth. You can use a potato masher, a food processor, or a blender.
  • Add your desired ingredients: Once the yams are mashed, you can add your desired ingredients, such as flour, eggs, milk, baking powder, and spices. Be sure to mix well until all of the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the pancakes are golden brown.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings: Yam pancakes can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Yam pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
