Photo: Sweet Potato Waffles Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon grated orange rind
- Vegetable spray, for waffle iron
- Special equipment: steamer basket and waffle iron
Directions
Put cubed sweet potatoes in a steamer basket. Place the basket in a large pot of simmering water that is no closer than 2 inches from the bottom of steamer. Allow potatoes to steam for 20 minutes of until fork tender. Mash cooked potatoes and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
In another bowl combine the sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar, butter, and grated orange rind. Stir the sweet potato mixture into the flour mixture and thoroughly combine. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold egg whites into batter 1/3 at a time. The batter will be thick. Using a No. 20 disher (scoop), place 2 scoops of batter onto a preheated, oiled waffle iron, and cook until lightly browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.

We loved these. Did just a few mods. The sweet potatoes that I had were left over from Thanksgiving, so they were already cubed and roasted with a tiny bit of honey and some cinnamon. I loosely measured out 1 1/2 cups.
Like another reviewer, I used three whole eggs instead of six egg whites. I beat the yolks in with the sweet potato mixture and whipped the whites. Folded in as instructed.
I also swapped one of the cups of AP flour for whole wheat flour.
These were fluffy and filling and will be a Thanksgiving Leftover Tradition from now on. Thanks Alton!

These waffles were great. The taste was great. I used graham flour instead of all purpose flour. The waffles were light and I froze a bunch of them for later use.
