How to Make Sweet Potato Pancakes

  1. Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Peel and grate 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 cups grated). Finely chop 1/2 medium yellow onion.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, chopped onion, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Drop large spoonfuls of the batter onto the preheated griddle, leaving space between each pancake.
  5. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully when the edges begin to set and bubbles appear on the surface.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as apple butter, sour cream, and chives. Enjoy!
