Cook and mash your sweet potato. I do this by putting a whole sweet potato into a baking dish and baking at 180 degrees celsius (360 F) until the flesh is soft and fork mashable. The time this will take will depend on the size of the sweet potato. Around 45 minutes is how long mine takes. I cook my sweet potato in the oven when I have it on for other things like baking a cake, cookies or roasting chicken.
Whisk together all the ingredients in a mixing bowl (eggs, sweet potato, apple sauce, cinnamon and vanilla extract).
Heat a skillet or fry pan over a medium-low heat and grease with butter or oil.
Drop spoonfuls of the sweet potato pancake batter onto the pan, cook for 3-5 minutes before flipping and cooking for a further 3 minutes on the other side.
