Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes or yams peeled and shredded (about 4 cups)
- 2 tablespoons white or brown rice flour (wheat flour can be substituted)
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried fines herbs
- 1/4 medium yellow onion
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or high-heat sunflower or canola oil
Method
Place shredded sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with rice flour, salt, pepper, garlic granules and fines herbs. Mix well. Toss in minced onion. Pour in egg and mix until egg completely coats sweet potatoes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, and using more oil as needed, drop 1/2 cups of sweet potato batter to make each pancake.
Cook, covered, for 5 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Remove to a platter and serve immediately.
