Sweet potato pancakes for dinner. With a little fruit and bacon or scrambled eggs on the side, this meal is my secret weapon. It’s my go-to meal when when I need everyone in my house to be happy about dinner. It’s easy, it’s fun, it’s affordable, and it’s nutritious.
I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to beat this meal in the minds of my children. All is right with the world when this is our dinner. Of course, it makes a great breakfast too.

Laura says
I am a real novice in the cooking department…is the sweet potato baked before you mash it? And, does it go with the wet or dry ingredients?
Annemarie says
Laura, you do need to cook the sweet potato before mashing it. I usually steam it, but you could bake it too. It goes in with the wet ingredients. Good luck!
Kristen says
What can I use to replace the eggs?
Annemarie says
Kristen, flax eggs should work in this recipe.
