    • ½ cup sour cream

    For the Pancakes

    • 6 large eggs
    • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
    • ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
    • ½ tsp. salt
    • ¼ tsp. pepper
    • 6 cups shredded peeled sweet potatoes (about 3 large)

    Directions

    1. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, brown sugar and cinnamon until blended; beat in sour cream. Set aside.

    2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, flour, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add the sweet potatoes, apples, and onion; toss to coat.
