You've never tasted pancakes like our sweet potato pancakes before. A tasty twist on the classic pancake recipe, these soft pancakes showcase the rich and creamy flavours of the popular sweet veg. And we've added a sprinkling of nutmeg to help draw out maximum flavour. A great recipe for using up any leftover mashed potato, it'll give you a stack of 4 in 25 minutes.
