SWEET POTATO PANCAKES 
Great for using up leftover potatoes!

1 cup sifted flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
pinch ground cloves
2/3 cup cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 1/4 cups milk

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar and spices.

In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients until smooth.

Add potato mixture to flour mixture and mix until blended.

Spray a griddle with non-stick spray (or brush with vegetable oil).

Drop 2 large tablespoons (for each pancake) onto sizzling hot griddle. Lower heat and cook until bottom of pancake is nicely browned and tiny bubbles form along top edges; flip with spatula. Brown other side.

Serve with melted butter and syrup or strawberry sauce and whipped cream.

Note: Adjust batter if needed, adding milk if batter is too thick and flour if batter is too thin. A thicker batter will make for thicker pancakes that will take longer to bake in the centers. For wide, thin pancakes, use a thin batter.

Tasty, and a good use of leftover mashed potatoes. However, mine were very dense, but thin. Would have liked fluffier pancakes

This one was a no brainer for me. When I fix my own single serving of sweet potato - I usually mash the potato while hot, put butter on to melt - then pour a little maple syrup over it. It is almost like the baked sweet potato casserole. Just never thought of adding flour, etc., and turning it into a pancake. Wonderful breakfast addition.
