Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 stalk, finely sliced green onion
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel the sweet potato and grate it using a coarse grater; place the grated potato in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine the grated sweet potato, flour, egg, sliced green onion, and salt; mix until a thick batter forms.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non‑stick skillet over medium heat. Spoon half the batter into the pan, flatten gently to a 1/2‑inch thick pancake, and cook 3‑4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.

  4. 4

    Repeat with the remaining batter, adding the last tablespoon of oil as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve the pancakes hot, drizzled with honey (or soy sauce) if desired.
