Folks are sure to flip over these tastefully different pancakes! "They're a twist on the traditional potato pancake," relates Mari Krajec of Lindenhurst, Illinois. "Sour cream, onion and red pepper give them a unique flavor that everyone seems to love, I usually double the recipe because they disappear so quickly."

SERVINGS: 5

CATEGORY: Lower Fat

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and shredded
  • 2 green onions, chopped

  • 5 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
