Potato Yam Pancakes Recipes

SWEET POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Shred the sweet potatoes, and place in a colander to drain for about 10 minutes. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, white sugar, brown sugar, curry powder and cumin. Make a well in the center, and pour in eggs and milk. Stir until all of the dry ingredients have been absorbed. Stir in sweet potatoes.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop the potato mixture by spoonfuls into the oil, and flatten with the back of the spoon. Fry until golden on both sides, flipping only once. If they are browning too fast, reduce the heat to medium. Remove from the oil, and keep warm while the other pancakes are frying.

CANDIED YAMS POTATO PANCAKES!

Steps:

• Take your candied or leftover sweet potato/yam casserole, candied or not, add one large egg and enough of the flour to thicken to a bit thicker pancake consistency.
• Use hand mixer and combine it all together.
• Using non stick pan , medium high, and some canola oil, drop about 1/4 cup full of the "batter" into the heated pan (I use small ice cream scoop), and cook like pancakes but be careful not to let it burn. I experiment with the heat. When the edges start to brown and look a bit crispy, flip them over and cook until done.
• 4. 1/2 Cup of cream cheese softened and warmed sprinkled with cinnamon to dollop on top.
