Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes (approximately 1 pound), peeled and grated

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

2 large eggs

1/4 cup milk (or your choice of non-dairy milk)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking spray or oil for greasing the waffle iron

Optional fillings: sliced avocado, crispy cooked bacon, or sautéed spinach for added flavor

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's guidelines. To ensure the waffles do not stick, lightly spray the surface with cooking spray or brush it with a bit of oil.

    Prepare the Sweet Potato Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, all-purpose flour, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, milk, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well blended. The resulting batter should be thick yet easily spreadable.

      Cook the Waffles: Pour approximately 1/2 cup of the sweet potato batter onto the preheated waffle iron (adjust the amount based on your waffle iron's size). Close the lid and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the waffles turn a beautiful golden brown and develop a crispy texture. Once cooked, carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as necessary.

        Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay two waffles on a flat surface and layer with your desired fillings, such as creamy sliced avocado, savory crunchy bacon, or fresh sautéed spinach. Top with another waffle to form a delicious sandwich.

          Serve and Enjoy: Cut each sandwich in half for easier handling and serve them warm. These delectable sandwiches pair perfectly with a side of Greek yogurt or a dollop of sour cream, ideal for dipping!
