Preparation
Place the shredded sweet potatoes and scallions in a large bowl. Stir in the eggs.
In a small bowl, blend the flour, baking powder, mint, cumin, salt, and pepper, and stir into the potato mixture until evenly blended.
In a skillet, heat about .6 cm (¼ inch) of oil until hot. When a bit of batter sizzles, drop in a large spoonful of the mixture, gently pressing it into a patty with a spatula. Cook a few at a time, until browned and then flip to brown the other side, adjusting the heat so they don’t burn.
Keep the pancakes warm in a 93° C (200° F) oven while you cook the remaining batter.
To make the sauce, blend the yogurt, pomegranate molasses, and tahini until smooth.
