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.

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.

Overall, I thought these pancakes were pretty good. They were easy to make and they had a good flavor. I would definitely make them again, but I might make a few changes to the recipe.

These pancakes were a little dry for my taste. I think I might have overcooked them. Next time, I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

I had a hard time getting the pancakes to flip without breaking. I think I might have made the batter too thick. Next time, I'll try thinning it out with a little more milk.

These pancakes were a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a very sweet variety of sweet potatoes. Next time, I'll try using a less sweet variety.

These pancakes are a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I always have a few sweet potatoes in my pantry and I'm always looking for new ways to use them.

I love how versatile these pancakes are. I've made them with different types of sweet potatoes and I've also added different spices to the batter. They always turn out great.

I made these pancakes for breakfast this morning and they were a hit! My kids loved them and even my husband, who is usually not a fan of pancakes, ate two.
