These Southwestern pancakes are vibrant to the eye and the palate. For a spicier version, leave in some — or even all — of the jalapeño seeds.
Ingredients
Makes about 24 pancakes
Step 1
Using box grater or food processor fitted with grating disc, coarsely grate onion and place in colander set in sink. Coarsely grate sweet potatoes, add to colander, and set aside to drain.
Step 2
In large mixing bowl, lightly beat eggs. Whisk in flour, then stir in jalapeño.
步骤3
Press sweet potatoes and onion to extract as much liquid as possible, then add to egg/flour mixture. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using wooden spoon or hands, mix well, but do not overwork.
Step 4
In heavy-bottomed, 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter until hot but not smoking. Drop 4 scant 1/4-cup portions of batter into pan and flatten with spatula to form four 3-inch pancakes.
Step 5
Fry until bottoms are golden-brown, 4 to 5 minutes, then turn over and fry until golden-brown and crisp, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season immediately with salt and pepper. Keep warm on baking sheets in oven while making remaining pancakes.
Step 6
Using paper towels, carefully wipe out pan. Add 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter and fry 4 more pancakes. Repeat with remaining batter, wiping out pan and adding 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter before each batch.
Step 7
Serve pancakes hot withSalsa Dip.

Back to TopMy kids ate these up! I did add 2 more eggs and more flour, based on the previous review. A small price to pay for yummy fried sweet potato goodness! Stop complaining and eat!

I read the reviews and planned accordingly. I used only one HUGE sweet potato for 3 people.(I did not use the Jalapenos and didn't make the salsa) I did use 2 eggs and the 2 T of flour, mixed it up and then added a little more flour and even a little corn meal (I'm a Texas girl) until the raw potato stuck together before I put them in the hot oil. I also drained them very well before I cooked them. I whipped up some sour cream and lemon zest to dip them in. They were scrumdiliumpcious

The below reviewer is absolutely correct. These do not bind at all. Hahbrowns, not a great Chanukkah latke.

I halved the recipe because it was only for two people. There is not nearly enough to bind the potatoes together so I ended up with more of a hash brown situation. They didn't taste bad (they weren't great either), but it was also not at all what we were interested in cooking.
