The refrigerator light goes on...

You can go any way that strikes your fancy with these. The cinnamon and nutmeg take the flavor sweeter, but you can use sage, for example, and come out with a great savory taste. These would also lend themselves well to spicy cajun or Southwestern flavors.

1 lb sweet potatoes (grated)
3 Tbsp chick pea flour
1 large egg (whisked)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
4 tsp olive oil



Place the grated sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper and fold together.

Sprinkle the chick pea flour over the top and fold together.

Add the egg and fold together until well blended.

Divide into eight piles and then pat together into small pancakes.

Place two teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

When the oil is hot add the pancakes.

Cook on one side for about 5 minutes. Adjust the heat so that the oil is not too hot and the pancakes don't burn.

Add the remaining oil to the pan.

Turn the pancakes and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.

Serve.
