5 minutesCook Time
20 minutesIngredients
- 5 Cups peeled, julienned sweet potato
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons chopped, fresh sage
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 egg whites
- Canola oil for frying
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 F.
In a bowl, toss first six ingredients together. Add egg whites and mix to thoroughly coat.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, measure 1/2 cup potato mixture and place in a large flat circle in skillet. It's OK for pancake to have small holes as this gives a lacy effect. Fry 1 minute, then transfer to oven for 3-5 minutes or until golden on underside and beginning to keep its shape. Flip pancake and continue to cook another 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and drain. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil as necessary. Transfer pancakes to an unlined baking sheet. Pancakes can be made up to 2 hours ahead and held at this point before reheating.
Reheat pancakes by placing in oven for 3-5 minutes or until crispy and heated through. Drain again and trim any charred ends off pancakes while maintaining shape.
