Directions

  1. Peel sweet potatoes and julienne using slicer (about 6 cups).

  3. Let mixture stand at room temperature until wilted and moist, about 5 minutes, then stir again.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Filling a 1/3-cup measure halfway full with potato mixture for each pancake and working in batches of 5 or 6, tap out into oil, gently flattening pancakes with a spatula to about 1/4 inch thick.

  7. Serve warm, with dipping sauce.
  8. Pancakes can be fried 2 weeks ahead, then cooled and frozen. Reheat unthawed pancakes in a 375°F oven.
