Yield Makes about 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large russet potato, peeled, grated (about 2 cups)
2 cups coarsely grated peeled red-skinned sweet potato (yam; from 1 large)
1 leek, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise (white and pale green parts only; about 1 1/4 cups)
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
5 tablespoons (about) vegetable oil
Applesauce
Sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275°F. Mix first 8 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop sweet potato mixture by 1/4 cupfuls onto skillet. Using spatula, gently flatten each mound to 3 1/2-inch-diameter round. Cook pancakes until brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pancakes to baking sheet and place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil to skillet as needed. Transfer pancakes to plates. Serve with applesauce and sour cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best pancakes, use starchy sweet potatoes like Garnet, Jewel, or Beauregard variety. These potatoes will hold together better when grated and cooked.
  • Grate the potatoes finely: This will help the pancakes cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too thick.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the potatoes: This will help the pancakes to be crispy and not soggy.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: This will help the pancakes to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help them to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes warm: They are best when served fresh out of the skillet.

Conclusion:

These sweet potato leek pancakes are a delicious and healthy breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a new pancake recipe, give these sweet potato leek pancakes a try!
