Recipe: Sweet Potato Pancakes with Lime Cilantro Yogurt Sauce

SWEET POTATO PANCAKES WITH LIME CILANTRO YOGURT SAUCE

FOR THE LIME CILANTRO YOGURT SAUCE:
1 cup plain yogurt
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 tsp. chopped cilantro
FOR THE SWEET POTATO PANCAKES:
1 pound sweet potatoes, finely chopped in food processor
1 small onion, finely chopped in food processor
1 Tbsp. potato starch
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 pinch black pepper, or to taste
4 Tbsp. olive oil
OPTIONAL, FOR SERVING:
Lime wedges
Cilantro (for garnish)

TO MAKE THE LIME CILANTRO YOGURT SAUCE:
In a small bowl mix together yogurt, lime juice and cilantro. Set aside until pancakes have been cooked.

TO MAKE THE SWEET POTATO PANCAKES:
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, salt and pepper.

In a 12-inch nonstick pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over a 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 3-4 minutes or until pancake is fully cooked. Repeat with remaining batter.

Serve with Lime Cilantro Yogurt Sauce on top. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro (optional).
