Recipe step-by-step directions:

Step 1: Grate your sweet potatoes. I use a food processor to grate my sweet potatoes. You can also use this mandolin slicer. Make sure to dry the shredded sweet potatoes with a paper towel to absorb some moisture. This will help your sweet potato waffles hold together better.

It is really easy to shred a sweet potato! Just wash your potato, chop off the pointy end, and rub the sweet potato across the surface of the grater! For this recipe, you will grate 2 large sweet potatoes.

Step 2: Use a paper towel to squeeze out the extra moisture. Add in the spices and mix well. This step is important because the moisture can make your sweet potato waffles soggy.

Step 3: Spray olive oil onto the waffle iron to get a crispy finish to these waffles. You can use coconut oil or olive oil. Add the mixture to the hot waffle iron and close the lid to cook. The hash browns cook so quickly! So easy!

Stovetop directions:

You can also fry the sweet potato hash in an oiled pan!! If you don't have a waffle maker, no worries! You can make more of a latke-style pancake with this shredded sweet potato mixture if you don't have a waffle iron. The delicious flavor would be the same, even the crispy edges!
