I found 2 copies of Steve 2 in LA's sweet potato biscuits (posted by someone else).

These look good, but I wouldn't know how to modify the recipe to make pancakes. A restaurant near here serves these and they are delicious. TIA

 
Here are 2 recipes I have marked to try some time.

Sweet Potato Pancakes


Courtesy of: Mark Picker, Central Market North Lamar
Makes 8 to 12 pancakes


2 large (about 1 1/2 p sweet potatoes or yams, washed, peeled and coarsely grated
1 medium-sized onion, coarsely grated
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
black pepper and cayenne to taste (optional)
2 eggs, beaten
vegetable oil (for frying)



Place the grated sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan of boiling water. Simmer for 2 minutes, drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the grated onion, beaten eggs, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper(s). Mix well.

Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place a small amount of batter into the oil. When it is hot enough to sizzle, spoon in the batter, forming thin pancakes about the size of a half-dollar with a spatula. Keeping the heat medium-high, fry on both sides until uniformly crisp and brown. Drain the finished pancakes on paper towels (do not stack them) and keep them warm in a 200 degree F oven. Serve hot with sour cream and/or applesauce

Sweet Potato Pecan Pancakes

1/4 cup chopped pecans -- toasted and divided
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon pumpkin-pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs -- lightly beaten
1 16-oz. can sweet potatoes or yams -- drained & mashed
(about 3/4 cup)

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine
flour, 2 tablespoons pecans, baking powder, pumpkin-pie spice, and salt in a
large bowl. Combine milk and next 4 ingredients (brown sugar through eggs);
add to flour mixture, stirring until smooth. Stir in sweet potatoes.

Spoon about 1/4 cup batter onto a hot nonstick griddle or large nonstick
skillet. Turn pancakes when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look
cooked. Sprinkle pancakes with 2 tablespoons pecans.

 
Here's 1 more; someone I know paid to have this pie made for their holiday event.

Marion's Sweet Potato Pie

2 9" or 10" prepared deep dish pie crusts, unbaked
3 eggs slightly beaten
1 c sugar
2-3/4 c well-mashed, cooked sweet potatoes or yams (usually a 40oz can drained & mashed is just enough)
2-1/4 c evaporated milk
1/2 c (1 stick) butter, melted
1-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp salt (opt)
3/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves

Heat oven to 425.

In a lg mixing bowl thoroughly beat all ingredients together.

Pull out oven rack and place pie crusts on it; carefully pour in filling. Protect edges of crust.

Slide the rack back in slosly. Bake 15 minutes.

Reduce oven temp. to 350. Bake until knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 55 minutes longer.

Refrigerate until chilled.

Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Refrigerate any remaining pie immediately.

Makes 2 pies with 8 servings per pie.

Comments: The disposable, alum. pie plate from Keebler Graham Cracker Ready Crust is perfect for protecting the edges of pie crusts from burning while baking. It even comes in 2 sizes. Simply flatten out the top edge, cut out the bottom at about half way down the side and invert the remaining open circle over the pie crust. The pie edges will be perfect, never burned.

 
Thanks. The second one looks like it will be the closest.

I assume these could be made with fresh boiled and mashed potatoes.

Will give a review after I try it.
