Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp paprika (optional, for extra flavor)

Butter or cooking spray (for the waffle maker)

Optional toppings: avocado slices, crispy bacon, sour cream, or hot sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Place the diced sweet potatoes in a pot of boiling water and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool slightly before mashing until smooth.

    Make the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, all-purpose flour, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, milk, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

      Preheat the Waffle Maker: While the batter rests for a few minutes, preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

        Cook Waffles: Pour the appropriate amount of batter (usually about 1/2 cup, depending on your waffle maker) into the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Repeat until all the batter is used.

          Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the waffles are ready, take one waffle, add your choice of fillings, such as avocado slices, crispy bacon, or a dollop of sour cream, and top with another waffle to create a sandwich.

            Serve: Slice the waffle sandwiches in half for easier eating and serve warm. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired!
