Let's cook.
Peel and finely grate the sweet potato using a box grater or food processor. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated sweet potato.
In a medium bowl, combine the grated sweet potato, all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the sweet potato is evenly coated.
Pour in the milk and mix until just combined, forming a thick batter. Gently fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet to form pancakes, about 3-4 inches in diameter.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The cheese should be melted and slightly crispy at the edges.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve immediately, optionally with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
