How to Prepare Savory Sweet Potato Pancakes with Mozzarella and Hazelnut Sauce:
Step by Step:
Prepare the sweet potato puree:
Cook the sweet potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water until very tender (about 15-20 minutes).
Drain, peel and mash them with a potato masher or fork to obtain a smooth puree.
Prepare the pancake batter:
In a large bowl, mix the sweet potato puree with the melted butter.
Add the sifted flour, eggs, grated parmesan and mozzarella cut into small pieces.
Season with salt and pepper, then mix until smooth.
Cooking the pancakes:
Heat a non-stick frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil or a knob of butter.
Place a ladleful of batter in the frying pan to form pancakes about 10 cm in diameter.
Cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Prepare the crunchy sauce:
Roast the hazelnuts in a preheated oven at 180°C for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
Let them cool, then roughly crush them.
In a bowl, mix the hazelnuts with the chopped red onion, sage, chervil, a generous drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper.
Assemble and enjoy:
Serve the pancakes while still warm, accompanied by the hazelnut sauce.
Add a few leaves of fresh herbs for decoration, and enjoy immediately.
Practical advice:
For an even more gourmet version, add a few slices of raw ham or pieces of feta as a garnish.
You can replace the hazelnuts with walnuts or almonds according to your preferences.
These pancakes go perfectly with a green salad for a balanced meal.
