image

Description

Topped with a rich cinnamon cream, these pancakes are an ideal dish for celebrating the tastes and aromas of fall.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 cups shredded peeled sweet potatoes (about 3 large)
  • 3 cups shredded peeled apples (about 3 large)
  • 1/3 cup grated onion
  • 1/2 cup canola oil

Directions

  1. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, brown sugar and cinnamon until blended; beat in sour cream. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, flour, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add the sweet potatoes, apples and onion; toss to coat.
  3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Working in batches, drop sweet potato mixture by 1/3 cupfuls into oil; press slightly to flatten. Using the remaining oil as needed, fry until golden brown, 2-3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve pancakes with cinnamon topping.
