Instructions

  1. Pierce the 2 large sweet potatoes generously with a fork. Wrap each in a paper towel and set them on a plate. Microwave each potato separately on high for 6 minutes, turning half way through. If the potato is not soft to the touch, microwave for an additional 2 minutes. Allow them to cool before handling.
  2. Cut each potato in half and scrape out the softened meat, discard the skins. Combine the sweet potato flesh with the 1 scallion, 2 tablespoons cilantro, 2 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons diced green chiles, 1/2 cup corn, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon chile powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup bread crumbs Sweet potato sizes can vary, add more bread crumbs if the mixture isn't sticking together.
  3. Form into 10 sweet potato pancakes, about 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Set in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
  4. Heat enough the Vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet on medium-high setting. When the oil is hot, add half (or less, being careful not to crowd the pan) of the sweet potato pancake patties. Allow them to brown (about 3 minutes) before turning. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Cook the remaining sweet potato pancakes. Keep in a warm oven until you are ready to serve.
  5. To make the yogurt sauce, blend together the 8 ounces plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 avocado, and 3 dashes hot sauce. Serve chilled with hot sweet potato pancakes.
