Recipe for Louisiana Sweet Potato Pancakes

Turned out damn good!!!!!!!



3/4 lb. sweet potato, 1.5 cups all purpose flour, 3.5 tsp baking powder (next time I would cut this by at least .5 teaspoon. there was an after taste of baking powder), 1 tsp salt, .5 tsp nutmeg, 2 eggs beaten, 1.5 cups milk, 1/4 cup butter-melted.



Place sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan of boiling water; cook until tender but firm, about 15 minutes; Drain and immediately immerse in cold water to loosen skins; drain; remove skin; chop and mash.



In a medium bowl, sift together flour baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Mix mashed sweet potato, eggs, milk and butter in a separate medium bowl. Blend potato mixture into the flour mixture to form batter.



Preheat a lightly greased griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter mixture onto the prepared griddle by heaping tablespoonfuls, and cook until golden brown, turning once with a spatula when the surface begins to bubble.



Viola!
