Sweet Potato Pancakes

I guess I'm a once-a-week blogger now. Maybe more in some aspirational future. We'll see, but for now, here's something for you to think about this week. Sweet potato pancakes.

When I went to make these, I went to my blog, as I do, to follow the recipe I surely had already recorded here. But I couldn't find one, though I'm still not totally convinced I never posted one before, because, seriously? Potato pancakes are my number one jam, as you know, well, besides tacos, obviously, but we're on a stomach-lining-healing break.

So, anyway, here's the recipe I and you can look to in some future month when I and you want to eat these again. Which I and we will. Because they are great.

1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
several turns of freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1 pound sweet potatoes, grated
1 small onion, grated

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Stir in the potatoes and onion. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.

Spoon batter onto a hot, oiled griddle. Cook on each side for a few minutes, until golden brown.

Serve with sour cream and applesauce.

Makes approx. 15 pancakes.
