Basic Ingredients- Pancake mix 450g

- Sweet potato 150g (approx. 1 medium)
- Eggs 2
- Milk 70ml
- Butter 2 Tbsp (for cooking)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Here are all the ingredients prepared to make delicious potato and sweet potato pancakes. Make them with care using fresh ingredients.
Step 2
Wash the potatoes and sweet potatoes thoroughly, keeping the skin on. Place them in a steamer or on a microwave-safe plate, cover with plastic wrap, and leave one corner slightly open to allow steam to escape. Microwave for about 4 minutes. It’s okay if they are not fully cooked, as they will cook further during the pan-frying process.
Step 3
Carefully peel the warm sweet potatoes and potatoes after removing them from the microwave. Use a tool if they are too hot to handle.
Step 4
Dice the peeled potatoes and sweet potatoes into uniform cubes of about 1 cm. This size ensures they mix well with the pancake batter and cook evenly.
Step 5
In a large bowl, pour in the pancake mix (450g). Add 2 fresh eggs and 70ml of milk for smooth pancakes.
Step 6
Using a whisk or spatula, mix all the ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a slightly thick batter with a few lumps is ideal. (For a more detailed look at the batter consistency, please refer to the accompanying video recipe.)
Step 7
Divide the prepared batter equally into two separate bowls. Add the diced sweet potatoes to one bowl of batter and the diced potatoes to the other. Gently mix to distribute the root vegetables evenly within each batter.
Step 8
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a heated frying pan over medium-low heat. Pour half of the potato batter into the pan, spreading it into a circle about 1 cm thick. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning.
Step 9
Once the bottom of the pancake is golden brown, carefully flip it with a spatula and cook the other side until equally golden. Ensure it’s cooked through to bring out the savory potato flavor.
Step 10
In the same pan, melt another tablespoon of butter if needed. Pour the sweet potato batter, spreading it to about 1 cm thickness, similar to the potato pancake.
Step 11
When the bottom of the sweet potato pancake is golden, flip it and cook the other side until golden brown. The sweet aroma of the cooked sweet potato indicates it’s ready.
Step 12
The finished potato pancakes are subtly flavored and wonderfully savory, making them a light and enjoyable treat.
Step 13
The sweet potato pancakes offer a rich sweetness combined with a delightful savoriness. Paired with a glass of warm milk, they make an excellent and nutritious snack for children. Enjoy them with your whole family!
