How to grate 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 of the 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.
Top tip:
Use a paper towel to squeeze out the extra moisture. Add in the spices and mix well.
I sprayed 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!
You can also fry the sweet potato hash in an oiled pan, to make more of a latke if you don't have a waffle iron. The delicious flavor would be the same, even the crispy edges!

Chris
Tried the recipe. Loved the flavor, but couldn't get the potatoes to stick together in a pancake/waffle-like fashion. Any suggestions?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Chris, Thank you for your note. I was trying to keep these really low carb. I made sure my waffle iron was really, really hot and I oiled it with coconut oil. Mine held together, but I was really careful removing them from the waffle iron. They would hold up better with some egg and a little flour. I hope this helps.
