Potato pancakes get a makeover, and so do you! These have lots of vitamin A, which will help keep your skin healthy for the holidays.

Ingredients
• 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled
• 2-1/2 ounces finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 1 cup)
• 2 egg whites
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
• 3/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• Parchment paper

Preparation:
Heat oven to 425°F. Finely grate sweet potatoes into a bowl. Squeeze grated sweet potatoes in batches to release as much moisture as possible and place in another bowl; fluff with a fork. Stir in cheese, egg whites, rosemary and pepper.

Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Spoon 1 rounded tablespoon batter onto cookie sheet and flatten into a thin, 2- to 2 1/2-inch round. Repeat with remaining batter, leaving 1 inch between rounds.

Bake until edges and underside are crisp and browned, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool slightly and remove from parchment. Serve warm with Rosemary-Balsamic Cream . See below.
