Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Sweet Potato (grated) | 1 cup |
| Whole Eggs | 4 eggs |
| Milk | 1/4 cup |
| Onion (finely chopped) | 1 small onion |
| Red Chilli Powder | 1 tablespoon |
| Black Pepper Powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Cumin Powder (Jeera) | 1 teaspoon |
| Dried Oregano | 1 teaspoon |
| Dried Thyme Leaves | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | To taste |
Instructions:
-
Prep the Sweet Potato: Start by grating the sweet potato and placing it into a large mixing bowl. Grating the sweet potato finely ensures that it cooks evenly, contributing to the waffle’s delightful texture.
-
Mix the Ingredients: Into the bowl with the grated sweet potato, add the four whole eggs. Then, add the finely chopped onion, milk, and all the spice powders. This includes the red chili powder, cumin powder, black pepper powder, along with the dried oregano and thyme leaves. Season generously with salt to taste.
-
Whisk the Mixture: Using a whisk or a fork, mix everything together well. The mixture should be well-combined, with the eggs thoroughly incorporated and the spices evenly distributed throughout the sweet potatoes.
-
Preheat the Waffle Maker: While the mixture is resting, preheat your waffle maker. Make sure the plates are hot enough to give the waffles a golden, crispy finish. This usually takes about 5 minutes, depending on your waffle maker.
-
Grease the Waffle Plates: Once the waffle plates are heated, lightly grease them with butter or non-stick spray. This ensures that the waffles will easily release from the waffle iron after cooking.
-
Cook the Waffles: Slowly pour the prepared sweet potato hash brown waffle mixture into the preheated waffle plates. Be sure not to overfill; just pour enough to fill the grooves of the waffle maker. Close the waffle iron and allow the waffles to cook for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
-
Check the Waffles: After 5-7 minutes, carefully open the waffle maker. You should see that the waffles have risen slightly and have taken on a golden brown hue. If they are not yet fully done, close the waffle maker and let them cook for a few more minutes.
-
Serve the Waffles: Once the waffles are perfectly golden and crisp, carefully remove them from the waffle maker. Place them onto a serving plate.
-
Pair with Sides: For a complete breakfast experience, serve your Spicy Sweet Potato Hash Brown Waffles with a side of sour cream, a refreshing corn pineapple salsa salad, and a hot cup of coffee.

Tips for the Perfect Waffle:
-
Grate Sweet Potatoes Finely: The texture of the waffles will be best when the sweet potatoes are grated finely. Larger pieces can make the waffles too thick or unevenly cooked.
-
Adjust the Spices: If you prefer a milder version, you can reduce the amount of red chili powder and black pepper, or even leave them out for a more neutral flavor.
-
Customize with Add-ins: Feel free to experiment by adding a handful of cheese (like cheddar or Parmesan) to the mixture for a cheesy twist or incorporate a dash of garlic powder for extra savory depth.
-
Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: While the suggested sour cream and corn pineapple salsa salad make an excellent pairing, you can also try other toppings like avocado slices, a fried egg, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
