Sweet Potato Pancakes

I got the base for these from the weekly Meatout Monday email I receive and served it at my Winter Solstice Party last Tuesday.  (I'd recommend signing up for the emails to get weekly recipes and news. Vegan outreach is another good place.)

4 cups of grated sweet potatoes, packed  (about 3 or 4 sweet potatoes)
2 Tbsp grated yellow onion, drained of excess juice  (about 1 or 2)
1 Tbsp diced fresh parsley (dried works in a pinch)
3 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Add all ingredients in a large bowl and mix everything.  Add vegetable oil to a skillet and heat it.  Take approximatley 1/4 cup handfuls and roll/flatten them into disks and then put them into the frying pan.  Press on them with a spatula to help them hold together better.  Cook until brown, flip, and then cook the other side til brown.  If it start to fall apart a little bit, push with the spatula and let it cook a little longer.  Each side takes about 4 minutes.  Repeat until all the mixture is gone.
