Veggie Latkes, AKA Potato Pancakes

These things taste, to me, like a cross between hashbrowns and onion rings! What could be better?!? I thought the texture was going to be all kinds of wrong, but it does actually work...
I eliminated potatoes from my diet for a time so I was happy to discover Hannah Sweet Potatoes at the health food store, which are light in color like golden potatoes, but feel free to use any type of potato or even zucchini!

Un-Potato Pancakes
2 medium Hannah sweet potatoes,
1/2 medium onion
1 egg beaten
2 tbsp rice flour, I'm going to add a smidge more next time
1 tsp salt, not enough in my opinion, but you can always salt them after they're done cooking and adjust the recipe next time.

Skin and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks.
Quarter and peel the onion. Store 1/2 the onion for future use.
Place in a food processor (I used my blender on the ice chopping pulsing function w/good success) until coarsely minced. Grating would also work.
Empty the food processor into a mixing bow, add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
Heat oil (I use olive oil) in a skillet, and gently add a heaping teaspoon of the mixture into the skillet, that you've pressed into a thick circle in your hand.
Cook for 3 minutes, each side on medium to medium high.
Enjoy as a snack or side dish for any meal.
This recipe yields about 12-15 pancakes.
My bad, I forgot to take pics. Now I'll have to make another batch, gee darn... ;-)
