Get the flavors of fall with these sweet potato pancakes. In this recipe, sweet potatoes and a bit of spice turn ordinary pancakes into something spectacular. The recipe calls for cooked sweet potatoes, so to make these pancakes should only takes 22 minutes for 4 servings. However, keep in mind that it can take around 5-7 minutes to cook them through, so be sure to factor in time for that part of the process if your sweet potatoes are raw. And don't stress if you're short on time because you can substitute canned pumpkin for the sweet potato. It will have a bit of a different taste, but the idea is the same!
