Ingredients

19-oz.

Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.

Prick potato all over with a fork.

Place in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 teaspoon water and cover.

Microwave on high until tender when pierced with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes.

Split potato and scoop flesh into bowl; discard skin.

Mash to make 34 cup.

Beat eggs and buttermilk in a large bowl.

Add potato and syrup; whisk until well combined.

Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl.

Add to buttermilk mixture.

Gently stir until few dry spots remain.

Add melted butter and stir gently until just combined.

(Do not over mix; lumps are OK.)

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high.

Brush with oil; reduce heat to medium.

Cooking in batches, add 13-cupfuls of batter to skillet, flattening tops slightly.

Cook until bubbles rise to surface and underside is golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes.

Flip and cook until puffed and golden brown on other side, 2 to 4 minutes.

Transfer to wire rack; keep warm in oven.

Repeat with oil and remaining batter.

Serve with pecans and syrup.
