Makes about twelve 3 inch pancakes
I like to make sweet potato Boxty's as well. I'm pretty sure they're not traditional, but they're very good. Make a bunch and keep them warm in the oven. Serve them with apple sauce or a little sour cream with fresh dill - a Guinness or two wouldn't hurt either...
