Crispy Sweet Potato Pancakes
Ingredients (Serves 4)
| 5 | cups peeled, julienned sweet potato |
| 2 | tbsp all-purpose flour |
| 4 | tsp chopped, fresh sage |
| 2 | tsp kosher salt |
| 1/2 | tsp freshly ground black pepper |
| 1/2 | tsp ground cumin |
| 2 | egg whites |
| Canola oil for frying |
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- In a bowl, toss first six ingredients together. Add egg whites and mix to thoroughly coat.
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, measure 1/2 cup potato mixture and place in a large flat circle in skillet. It’s OK for pancake to have small holes as this gives a lacy effect. Fry 1 minute, then transfer to oven for 3-5 minutes or until golden on underside and beginning to keep its shape. Flip pancake and continue to cook another 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and drain. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil as necessary. Transfer pancakes to an unlined baking sheet. Pancakes can be made up to 2 hours ahead and held at this point before reheating.
- While hens are resting, reheat pancakes by placing in oven for 3-5 minutes or until crispy and heated through. Drain again and trim any charred ends off pancakes while maintaining shape.
