| INGREDIENTS: | ||
| 1 cup plain yogurt (nonfat, low-fat or regular, as desired) | 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice | 2 teaspoons chopped cilantro |
| 1 pound sweet potatoes, cut into chunks | 1 small onion, cut in half | 1 tablespoon potato starch |
| 2 eggs, lightly beaten | 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt | 1 pinch black pepper, or to taste |
| 4 tablespoons olive oil | lime wedges (optional) | cilantro for garnish (optional) |
| 1 | In small bowl mix together yogurt, lime juice and cilantro. Set aside until pancakes have been cooked. |
| 2 | Finely chop sweet potato and onion in food processor, making sure not to over-process; there should be some texture to the mixture. Place potato-onion mixture in medium-size bowl and stir in potato starch, eggs, and salt and pepper. |
| 3 | In a 12-inch nonstick pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high flame. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup for each pancake, pour 4 of the 1/4 cups of batter into a hot pan, making sure to leave room in between pancakes; you may need to flatten batter a bit with the back of a spoon or back of measuring cup. Cook on each side about 3 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy. Flip pancake and cook for another 3 or 4 minutes or until pancake is fully cooked. Repeat with remaining batter. |
| 4 | Serve with yogurt sauce on top. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro (optional). |
