Meant to post this way back but forgot, as usual.  Had mashed sweet potato left over from previous post re: turkey and etc so decided to try sweet potato pancakes.  Ganked this from allrecipes:  I halved the recipe.  Also found that 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake makes perfect sized pancakes – slightly larger than silver dollar pancakes but not huge.

“Louisiana Sweet Potato Pancakes”

INGREDIENTS

  • 3/4 pound sweet potatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • DIRECTIONS
  1. Place sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan of boiling water, and cook until tender but firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, and immediately immerse in cold water to loosen skins. Drain, remove skins, chop, and mash.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Mix mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, milk and butter in a separate medium bowl. Blend sweet potato mixture into the flour mixture to form a batter.
  3. Preheat a lightly greased griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter mixture onto the prepared griddle by heaping tablespoonfuls, and cook until golden brown, turning once with a spatula when the surface begins to bubble.
