Cook the Sweet Potatoes:
Begin by boiling the sweet potatoes in a pot of water for approximately 20 minutes, or until they become soft and easily pierced with a fork. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly. -
Prepare the Pancake Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs and whole milk. Add the cooked sweet potatoes to the mixture and mash them until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. You can use a hand blender to make the process quicker and ensure a silky batter. -
Add Dry Ingredients:
To the sweet potato and egg mixture, add the sugar, baking powder, and all-purpose flour. Use the hand blender once more to mix everything until the batter is thick and smooth. -
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to grease the surface. Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, pour small portions of the pancake batter into the pan. The batter will naturally spread out into the traditional pancake shape.Cook the pancakes until small bubbles appear on the surface. Once this happens, flip the pancakes over and cook them on the other side until they turn golden brown. Continue this process until all pancakes are cooked, then transfer them to a plate.
-
Prepare the Bacon:
After cooking the pancakes, lightly clean the skillet and return it to the heat. Add the bacon slices and cook them, turning occasionally, until they are crispy and golden brown. Once the bacon is fully cooked, remove it from the skillet and chop it finely with a knife. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the pancakes warm, drizzling with maple syrup and sprinkling the chopped bacon on top for a savory-sweet combination that elevates the flavor. The crispy bacon complements the softness of the sweet potato pancakes, creating a perfect balance of flavors.
These sweet potato pancakes are the perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. The creamy texture of the sweet potatoes blends beautifully with the fluffy pancakes, while the bacon adds a delightful crunch and smoky flavor. Enjoy this delicious dish with a drizzle of syrup and a sprinkle of love!
