And Something Fried

Oh, in regards to my last post, I also had SEVEN sweet potatoes left after the big clean.  I made some fries, I made waffles, and then I made these:

(Vegan) Sweet Potato Pancakes

Kind of not the best picture, sowwy
Ingredients:
Roughly 2 cups shredded sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons AP flour + 2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 yellow onion
2 tablespoons coconut milk
Shakes and shakes of salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg (to taste)
Canola oil for frying

Method:
1. Chop the onion!  Shred the taters if you haven't already.
2. Grab a medium- sized mixing bowl, and throw in the sweet potatoes, flour/cornstarch, and spices.  Mix well before adding coconut milk, and again before tossing in the onion.  Taste and adjust spiced as needed.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-heat, and add a shallow pool of oil for frying.  Once hot, spoon 1/2 cup batter into skillet for each pancake.  Flip after about 3 minutes, or until you have a solid pancake that doesn't break apart when touched (and is golden brown/dark brown in color).
4. Place on a plate with a few paper towels to soak up a bit of that oil!  Serve with (vegan) sour cream and/or applesauce!
