Sweet Potato Pancakes!


I usually make potato pancakes, but last week, I only had sweet potatoes, so I decided to try something new, sweet potato pancakes!  I'm happy to report, they turned out really sweet and yummy!  I made them the same way I make regular potato pancakes, just left out the onions and added brown sugar.  Mmmm!

SWEET POTATO PANCAKES:

1 small sweet potato - shredded
1 egg
1 tablespoon brown sugar
apx 1 tablespoon corn starch (maybe a little less)
1 sprinkle of salt
(oil for frying)

Shred the sweet potatoes into a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, except for the oil.  Put enough oil in a non-stick frying pan to cover the bottom of the pan and heat it over medium-low heat.  Then spoon the sweet potato mixture into the oil and flatten it out into 4-inch rounds.  You should have enough for about 4-5 sweet potato pancakes.  Fry on each side until it starts to turn brown.  They'll be nice and crispy and SWEET!!!

These are the perfect side dish for anything!!!!!
