These sweet potato pancakes taste great and are quite versatile. Add any vegetables and spices. The sweet potato is a staple carbohydrate that's sweet, low in fat, and gives you plenty of energy for the day.
When compared with white potatoes, both are packed with fibre and are full of nutrients, especially if you leave the skins on. Sweet potatoes are full of Vitamin A and C. Perfect for cold winter weather!

Nutritional Information:
Just got in...I'm on dinner duty, so I whipped up some of these. Added in some garlic. Served with broccoli and cottage cheese. Adults loved them, sad to say that it wasn't the same story for the little people! Still, leftovers for lunch tomorrow
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm going to make these today as I have carrots and sweet potatoes that need eating. Will add in garlic too! Perhaps tone down the spices for the little people (1/2tsp instead of 1tsp) next time as kids have extra sensitive taste buds.
DeleteI made these with a teaspoon of curry powder as I didn't have any of the suggested spices to hand. Also I baked them in the oven (350F for 30mins) and they tasted great. Served with cauliflower rice, spinach and green beans!
