Recipe: Cheesy Sweet Potato Pancake Roll

Serving Size: Serves 1


Ingredients:

  • 200g cooked sweet potato (approx. 2 medium potatoes)
  • 1 sheet of rice paper
  • 100g shredded cheese (any type that melts well, like mozzarella or cheddar)
  • Maple syrup for drizzling


Instructions:

  1. Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Cook the sweet potatoes until soft. You can bake them at 200°C (400°F) for 40-45 minutes, microwave them for 6-8 minutes, or boil them until tender. Let them cool, then mash until smooth.
  2. Prepare the Cheese: In a non-stick pan on low heat, spread shredded cheese in a circle, about the size of the rice paper.
  3. Prepare the Rice Paper: No need to soak the rice paper—use it dry. Place it on a chopping board, and spread the mashed sweet potato evenly over it.
  4. Combine: Once the cheese has melted, carefully place the rice paper with sweet potato mousse on top of the melted cheese (dry rice paper side down).
  5. Cook: Continue to cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes, allowing the cheese to turn crispy.
  6. Roll: Gently roll the pancake like a gyeran mari (Korean rolled omelette) while still in the pan. Transfer to a cutting board, and cut into bite-sized pieces using kitchen scissors.
  7. Serve: Drizzle with maple syrup and enjoy!



Tips for the Dish:

  • Substitutions: If you’re looking for a dairy-free version, use a plant-based cheese. You can also substitute the sweet potato with pumpkin or butternut squash for a different flavor.
  • Gluten-Free: This dish is naturally gluten-free with rice paper and sweet potatoes, but always check the cheese label to ensure it's gluten-free.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare and roll the pancake in advance, then reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave for a quick snack.
  • Add-Ins: Try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the sweet potato mixture for extra flavor.
