Sweet Potato Pancakes

 

 

It's been a long week and we're going to have a quiet evening with one of our favorite television shows and a quick supper.  I have to go to work early in the morning (Saturday) to help with a special event and I'm wanting something fast, comforting, and light but hearty.  Breakfast for supper or breakfast for breakfast...these sweet potato pancakes will satisfy.  Neil liked them so much, he's cleaning up the kitchen right now out of appreciation.  This one's a keeper!
