These sweet potato waffles are so easy to prepare, you'll be making them all-year-long.

This waffle recipe is super basic, so you can add anything you like in the waffle mix, from Parma ham, bacon or cheddar cheese, to extra veggies such as zucchini and spinach.
How To Make Sweet Potato Waffles
Making these sweet potato waffles it's absolutely no-brainer.
All you need is two bowls and a waffle maker. The recipe all comes together in just 15 mins. Easy peasy and SO yummy.
You can use steamed sweet potatoes as I did, but these waffles are a great way to use any left-over mashed potatoes you have sitting in the fridge.
Start by combining the basic ingredients together in a large bowl.
Then fold in a mix of flour, baking soda and baking powder and your waffle batter is all ready.
If you use rice flour instead of all purpose flour, you'll get gluten-free waffles in a blink (but make sure your baking powder is gluten-free too).
Pour the batter into the waffle maker and wait until the magic happens.
Let the waffle gently bake until done, crispy and golden, then open the lid up and remove the waffle with a spatula.
Wait about 6-8 mins before checking the waffle so that it's crispy and almost ready, time will vary depending on the temperature of your waffle maker.
Serve these tasty sweet potato waffles with a drop or two of sour cream and chopped chives.
Or top with any of your favorite toppings, either way, these will make a showstopping treat to share with family and friends.
