Sweet Potato-Green Onion Pancakes with Poached Eggs, Holiday Ham and Pepper Jam - GUEST BLOG

My sister in law Andrea made this for breakfast and raved --said it was even better as an open face and easier to eat and that the ham and pepper jelly just makes it!! The recipe is by Bobby Flay on the Food Network site. Enjoy we can't to make it ! Note that you will need cheesecloth. AND AS ALWAYS Andrea's presentation is spot on!!



Sweet Potato-Green Onion Pancakes:
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large sweet potato, peeled and coarsely grated
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 small Spanish onion, finely grated
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 green onions (dark green and light green parts only), thinly sliced
Unsalted butter, for frying
Canola oil, for frying
Poached Eggs:
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
4 large eggs
1/2 cup pepper jelly
8 ounces glazed baked ham, thinly sliced

For the pancakes: Combine 4 cups cold water and 1 tablespoon kosher salt in a large bowl and stir until the salt dissolves. Stir in the sweet potato and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain, then dump onto a large piece of cheesecloth and wring out as much water as possible.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk together the eggs, onion and some pepper in a large bowl. Add the sweet potato and flour, and mix until combined. Fold in the green onions.
Heat a few tablespoons each of butter and oil until shimmering in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Using a scant 1/4 cup per pancake, add the sweet potato mixture to the pan, leaving some space in between. Flatten slightly and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels, then transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 5 minutes to finish cooking.


For the eggs: Fill a high-sided skillet halfway with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; add the vinegar. Line a plate with paper towels. Break each egg into a little ramekin or cup.
One at a time, slip the eggs into the water, leaving space between them; adjust the heat to a bare simmer. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks still runny, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to paper towels to blot off the water.


To serve: Put the pancakes on a serving platter. Top 4 of them with a smear of pepper jelly, a few slices of ham and a poached egg. Season with salt and pepper. Top with another pancake to make sandwiches
