Recipe Introduction
These little pancakes are quite versatile. Not only are they an excellent accompaniment to pork chops or ham, they can easily be the centerpiece of a fine brunch when topped with sweetened sour cream
List of Ingredients
4 medium-sized sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp grated lemon zest
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons oilRecipe
Coarsely grate the sweet potatoes using a food processor or the large holes of a hand grater. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, grated sweet potatoes, eggs, flour, baking powder, lemon zest and salt. Beat until well blended.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large, heavy skillet. Drop sweet potato mixture by tablespoonfuls onto hot surface, and fry 3 or 4 minutes, until golden brown on bottom. Turn and brown on other side, about 2 minutes. Remove from pan, drain on paper towels and keep warm. Repeat process 2 more times with remaining oil and sweet potato mixture. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
SWEETENED SOUR CREAM: Stir 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar into 1 cup sour cream, and mix well.
