Ingredients

1 large sweet potato, grated (at least 2 cups)
½ cup grated onion
3 T lemon juice
1 tsp salt
Black pepper, to taste
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup flour
Vegetable oil
Sour cream or yogurt
Applesauce

Directions

Beat the eggs in a medium sized bowl. Add the potatoes, onion, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and flour and mix well.

Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet (preferably non-stick) until it is very hot. Use a spoon to form thin pancakes, pressing the batter down in the pan. Give the batter an occasional stir to keep the ingredients mixed. Fry on both sides until brown. Keep the completed pancakes warm in a 250 degree oven.

Serve the pancakes with sour cream or plain yogurt and applesauce on the side.
