So. I am not a great cook. I do it because we have to eat, not because I love it. Truth be told, I'd rather clean and decorate the kitchen rather than cook in it.
However, with a family I do my fair share of it.
Sometimes I get everything just right - like my super famous eggplant pizziola - sometimes not.
And sometimes, I make a mistake that turns out better than what I had planned...like with my sweet potato pancakes!
I had planned to make sweet potato fries, but when the slicing went all wrong, I had to think on my feet and turned those uneven cuts into shreds.
Fabulous.
Now they're a menu staple!

Recipe details
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes

- Then in a large bowl, mix shredded potatoes, flour, egg, minced onion and salt together.
- Pour a small amount of oil into a large frying pan on low heat.

Tips
- You can use fresh minced onion if you like...I'm just lazy.
- You can serve them with sour cream or syrup if you like.
