Candied Yams Potato Pancakes!

Submitted by Dana M.

"Though the picture is of candied yams, the real magic is what you do with the leftovers since this dish doesn't present well the next day. I made potato pancakes from my mashed potatoes and sweet potato pancakes from the candied yams."

 

• Ready In: 8mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 4 depends on how much you have left over
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 -3 cups left over sweet potatoes or 2 -3 cups yams
• 1 large egg
• 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup flour, to thicken
• 1⁄2 cup cream cheese, softened and warm
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon (to garnish)

directions

1. Take your candied or leftover sweet potato/yam casserole, candied or not, add one large egg and enough of the flour to thicken to a bit thicker pancake consistency.
2. Use hand mixer and combine it all together.
3. Using non stick pan , medium high, and some canola oil, drop about 1/4 cup full of the "batter" into the heated pan (I use small ice cream scoop), and cook like pancakes but be careful not to let it burn. I experiment with the heat. When the edges start to brown and look a bit crispy, flip them over and cook until done.
4. 4. 1/2 Cup of cream cheese softened and warmed sprinkled with cinnamon to dollop on top.
5. My family loved this recipe more than regular potato pancakes!
