Four Ingredient Sweet Potato Pancakes

            On Twitter I saw a recipe for 3-ingredient Sweet Potato Pancakes and thought I would make my own! As I got started on the batter of this recipe – I realized that they were not coming out like traditional breakfast pancakes—you know—the flapjack kind. They were more like latkes. Thus, I added some yeast and whole wheat flour. The pancakes still came out like a hybrid of potato pancakes and flour pancakes with some sweet potato thrown in. For pancakes with a more flapjack like consistency, increase the proportion of flour to sweet potato.
