SWEET POTATO PANCAKES



Sweet Potato Pancakes image

Crisp potato pancakes called latkes are part of Hanukkah celebrations. We've kept the traditional frying method (and sour cream to go with them), but refreshed the recipe by trading white potatoes and onions for sweet potatoes and scallions.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegetarian Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled
3 scallions, finely chopped
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Sour cream, for serving (optional)

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve perfectly crispy pancakes, ensure your cooking oil is hot enough before adding the batter. A good way to check is to sprinkle a few drops of water into the oil; if it sizzles and evaporates immediately, the oil is ready.
  • For even cooking, use a non-stick skillet or griddle. This will prevent the pancakes from sticking and tearing.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Leave enough space between each pancake so they can cook evenly without steaming.
  • Be patient and don't flip the pancakes too soon. Wait until the edges are set and bubbles start to form on the surface before flipping.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. They're delicious with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These crunchy sweet potato pancakes are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They're easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. Whether you like them sweet or savory, these pancakes are sure to please. So next time you're looking for a breakfast or brunch recipe, give these sweet potato pancakes a try.
