These sweet potato waffles are hearty, filling, and so easy to make! With just a few simple ingredients and steps, these waffles are super customizable with a variety of toppings. Paleo, too!

Ingredients

  • Sweet potatoes – Raw, then grated and drained.
  • Eggs
  • Salt
  • Cooking spray or olive oil

Chef’s Tips

  • For a mini waffle maker, use about 1/3 cup of batter. For a full-sized waffle maker, use about 1 cup.
  • Make sure to drain the sweet potatoes extremely well. Any water will make the texture of the waffles way too mushy.
  • These waffles are great sweet or savory. For sweet, you can top with butter and syrup or add a dash of cinnamon to the batter. For a more savory waffle, try a dollop of sour cream.

4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes approximately 1 ½ pounds
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • salt to taste

Equipment

  • potato peeler
  • box grater
  • cheesecloth
  • Large bowl
  • Fork
  • Waffle maker mini or full-size
  • neutral cooking spray
  • Plate

Instructions 

  • Peel sweet potatoes completely. Once peeled, grate sweet potatoes using smaller shredding holes of box grater. Grate sweet potatoes directly onto cheesecloth for ease.
  • Once potatoes are grated, use cheesecloth to drain all excess liquid from potatoes. Potatoes must be drained very well or waffle batter will be too thin and watery.
  • Transfer drained sweet potatoes to large bowl and add eggs and salt. Mix well with fork until ingredients are well incorporated and eggs are no longer streaky.
  • Preheat waffle maker. Once preheated, spray waffle maker with neutral cooking spray. Add waffle batter to waffle maker, using approximately ⅓ cup batter for mini waffle maker and 1 cup batter for full-sized waffle maker.
  • Close waffle maker and let waffle cook completely, approximately 5 minutes. Once cooked, transfer waffle to plate and repeat with remaining batter until all batter has been cooked.
  • Serve waffles warm with desired toppings.

Notes

  • For sweet, you can top with butter and syrup. For a more savory waffle, try a dollop of sour cream.
