Name: Easy Sweet Potato Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients: 1 large sweet potato, peeled and grated; 1 small onion, peeled and grated; 1 tbsp chives, finely chopped; 1 jalapeno, de-seeded and minced; 2 tbsp all purpose flour; 1 tsp salt; ½ tsp cumin; ¼ tsp cayenne; 1 large egg; vegetable oil; 1 tsp lemon zest

Ingredients

1 large sweet potato, peeled and grated

1 small onion, peeled and grated

1 tbsp chives, finely chopped

1 jalapeno, de-seeded and minced

2 tbsp all purpose flour

1 tsp salt

½ tsp cumin

¼ tsp cayenne

1 large egg

vegetable oil

1 tsp lemon zest

Directions

grate the peeled potato and onion into a medium bowl

transfer to a strainer and press out liquid (this is important or they will not hold together)

return to the original bowl

add jalapeno and chives

in a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, cumin and cayenne

add this to the sweet potato and onion

add egg and lemon zest, mix thoroughly

in a pan or skillet, add enough oil to prevent the pancakes from sticking (we used an oil spritzer)

place on medium heat

using an ice cream scoop (or 3 tbsp), scoop out potato mixture and flatten each one. The smaller the pancakes (about 2”in diameter), the faster and more evenly they will cook

place in a pan over medium heat and add 3 or 4 more to cook all together

cook 5 minutes or until they turn crisp and brown on the bottom

flip to cook on both sides, 3 or 4 more minutes
