Main Ingredients:
- 1 medium sweet potato, baked and cooled (about 8 ounces / 226 grams)
- 2 large eggs
Seasonings:
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Spices (Optional):
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Transform a baked sweet potato into a velvety puree, eliminating any lumps or fibrous textures by thoroughly mashing in a mixing vessel.
- Transfer the silky sweet potato mash into a blender or food processor, introducing eggs to create a unified, smooth mixture.
- Enhance the batter’s flavor profile by incorporating a delicate pinch of salt and optional ground cinnamon for aromatic depth.
- Pulse the ingredients until achieving a consistent, lump-free liquid with a vibrant orange hue.
- Prepare a nonstick or cast iron skillet by warming over medium-high heat, ensuring an even cooking surface.
- Once the pan radiates appropriate heat, pour a precise quarter-cup portion of batter, gently dispersing into a circular form.
- Allow the pancake to develop a golden-brown foundation, maintaining stillness for approximately three minutes to promote proper caramelization.
- Execute a precise flip using a thin, flexible spatula, revealing a perfectly bronzed surface.
- Continue cooking the opposite side for an equivalent duration until achieving a uniform, appetizing appearance.
- Repeat the process with remaining batter, creating a stack of delectable sweet potato pancakes.
- Present immediately while warm, accompanied by preferred garnishes that complement the pancake’s natural sweetness.
