Multipurpose leftovers:: Sweet Potato Pancakes

The truth about me is that I HATE throwing out food. For me, it is a sin beyond measure. Therefore, I am always trying to re-purpose leftovers, especially in a time of limiting runs to the grocery store. Today I am posting sweet potato pancakes. I love sweet potatoes and always make too many. Baked sweet potatoes are naturally sweet and make the perfect base for pancakes. They are comforting and filling and even nutritious.
