Sweet Potato Pancakes

Ingredients

• 2-3 yellow sweet potatoes (about 1.5 pounds)
• 1 medium onion
• 1/4 cup flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil for pan frying

Instructions

1. 1
   Peel sweet potatoes and grate by hand through a large-hole grater. Put grated sweet potato into slightly iced water and let stand for 10 minutes.
2. 2
   Remove any ice that hasn't melted and drain off water from sweet potatoes. Squeeze out any excess water from grated sweet potatoes and transfer to a cutting board. Chop potatoes just a few times and transfer to a mixing bowl.
3. 3
   Grate the onion and add to potatoes along with flour, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
4. 4
   Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large frying pan until hot (just rippling). Drop rounded tablespoons of potato-onion batter into pan and flatten with the back of the spoon until they are evenly flat and about 1/8 inch thick. Cook until medium to dark brown, turn and brown the other side. Remove pancakes onto paper towels to drain and keep warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve.
