Mike's Sweet Potato Pancakes
You can add a bit more nutmeg or sweet potatoes, but only a bit.
Exercise care when cooking these. They tend to burn more easily
than regular pancakes, so turn them just a bit earlier than you
would a regular pancake.
Makes 10 pancakes.

3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 level tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup mashed sweet potatoes
1 egg, beaten
1/2 Tbsp oil
3/4 cup milk
1 Tbsp butter, melted
2 Tbsp cream
1/4 tsp baking soda

Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, baking soda, and
nutmeg together.
In a separate bowl, thoroughly mix the butter and mashed sweet
potatoes.
Beat the egg.
Add the milk, oil, and butter to the egg and mix well.
Add the sweet potatoes to the liquids and mix well.
Once the mixture is fairly smooth, add it to the dry ingredients.
Stir until the dry mixture is moistened.
Fry on a hot griddle or skillet as you would a regular pancake.
(see note above)

That sounds like something my dh would really like.

My wife certainly enjoyed them. Maple syrup goes particularly well
with these.

How are you serving them? As a veggie with a meal or as breakfast
food? How do you top them? Something sweet or sour cream or similar?

IMHO potato pancakes can go either way. I can only speak from
experience but potato pancakes weren't breakfast food in our house. They
were made from leftover mashed potatoes and accompanied a meat and
veggie with dinner the next night.

I'd serve sweet potato pancakes as a starch accompaniment to a "southern
style" dinner. Sweet potatoes don't need added sugar, but I suppose
that is a matter of opinion. But no, I won't be doing this: "Add the
milk, oil, and butter to the egg and mix well" then "add the sweet
potatoes to the liquids and mix well." Sounds like a mushy mess to me!

These are breakfast pancakes. I'm working on a recipe for sweet
potato pancakes which are similar to potato pancakes.

The sweet potatoes and spices give this a slightly sweet flavor, so
sweet toppings work well. I like them with butter and maple syrup,
the wife eats them with strawberry or blueberry syrup.

Thanks Mike. Good one! I was off work yesterday, saw this and, since I had
all the ingredients, I tried it. I cooked a sweet potato (boiled it) then
made your pancake mix exactly as stated. I always follow a new recipe
exactly the first time, then change it to my tastes after that. I *will*
make this again sometime and I *won't* change it either. It's perfect as
stated, imo.

I tried one with butter only.....very good. Then I had one with butter and
maple syrup....oh yeah! It was so good that I made 2 more along with 2
fried eggs and toast for a "breakfast for lunch."

Thanks for the recipe. It's a keeper. :-D

I see Mike has already responded, but let me add that when I make sweet
potato pancakes I like to serve them with lime-honey yogurt.

You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it.

I've been doing quite a bit of cooking with sweet potatoes
lately. Biscuits, bread, pancakes, sweet potato corn cake, sweet
potato pie, mashed sweet potatoes, scalloped sweet potatoes,
casseroles...
This and the cake have been my favorites so far, although the
biscuits weren't bad either.

I bet some butter pecan syrup would be delicious, too.
