Sweet Potato Onion And Thyme Pancakes Recipes

SWEET POTATO PANCAKES

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 POTATOES WITH MUSHROOMS, ONION, AND THYME

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Arrange the sweet potatoes, onion, and mushrooms in a large roasting pan or baking dish, about 13 X 9.

SWEET POTATO PANCAKES WITH APPLESAUCE AND DILL SOUR CREAM

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.
