Potato Pancakes with Mushroom Sauce

Today we're going to blend potatoes with a popular dessert. Pancakes come in various forms and the most common form is quite easy to make. We've included simple potato mash in the pancake batter for a completely unique texture. The accompanying mushroom sauce is seasoned with cinnamon powder and sugar to complement the pancake. You can easily replace regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for this recipe. I've kept some mushroom pieces in this sauce, but you can mash them too. While adding potato mash in the pancake batter, make sure you put the right proportion as mentioned here else they'll not come out nicely. Let's try this easy-to-make and scrumptious dessert.
