<strong>Ingredients: </strong></p>
<p>6 medium potatoes<br />
1 onion<br />
2 eggs<br />
4 tbsp flour<br />
1 tsp salt<br />
1/4 tsp pepper<br />
Oil for frying</p>
<p><strong>Directions:</strong></p>
<p>Shred the potatoes using the food processor (shredder disk).  Put shredded potatoes in the colander in the sink, and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.</p>
<p>Grate the onion.  Mix potatoes, onion, eggs, flour, salt and pepper.</p>
<p>Heat the oil in the non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat (I use 2 frying pans on 2 burners to save time).  Form the potato mixture into patties (squeeze out excess liquid as you go) and put on a frying pan.</p>
<p>Cook for 7 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes (or until golden-brown on both sides and cooked through).   Check the potato pancakes from time to time and adjust the heat setting &#8211; if they are starting to turn too dark, the heat is too high, and if they are pale, it&#8217;s too low.</p>
<p>Potato pancakes taste best when served immediately &#8211; when reheated, they lose their crunch. </p>
<p>Serve with apple sauce.</p>

Ingredients For Stuffed Baked Sweet Potatoes Recipe:</strong></p>
<p>Sweet potatoes<br />
Sliced mushrooms<br />
Any green vegetables (for example, green peppers, asparagus, green beans, etc.)<br />
Shredded cheese<br />
Olive oil</p>
<p><strong>Directions How To Make Stuffed Baked Sweet Potatoes:</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>Step 1: Bake The Sweet Potatoes</strong></em></p>
<p>Preheat oven to 400F.  Prick the sweet potatoes with a knife in a couple of places (so they don&#8217;t burst).  Rub the sweet potatoes with olive oil.  Line the baking sheet with foil and put potatoes on a baking sheet.  Put in the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours.</p>
<p><em>Note: you can do this step in advance.  Just throw the sweet potatoes in the oven, then take them out 1 1/2 hours later and refrigerate till you are ready to stuff them.</em></p>
<p><em>Note 2: don&#8217;t be tempted to &#8220;bake&#8221; the sweet potato in a microwave unless you really have to.  Microwaved version is a far cry for the real thing.  </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Step 2: Cook the veggies</strong></em></p>
<p>Slice the mushrooms and other vegetables.  Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.  Cook the veggies until tender.  Add salt and pepper to taste.</p>
<p><strong><em>Step 3: Stuff the sweet potatoes</em></strong></p>
<p>Put the potato on a large plate, and cut in half lengthwise.  Scoop the flesh out with the spoon and put it in a bowl (leave the potato skin on the plate).  Mash the sweet potato flesh with a fork or a potato masher.  Add the vegetables and combine using a spoon.  Put the potato mixture back into the potato skin.</p>
<p>Sprinkle with shredded cheese.  Microwave or bake until the sweet potato is warm and cheese has melted.</p>
