Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

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

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

4-6 slices of your choice of deli meat (turkey, ham, or roasted vegetables for a vegetarian option)

Optional toppings: avocado slices, arugula, or a fried egg

Instructions
 

Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Start by boiling the cubed sweet potatoes in a pot of salted water for about 10-12 minutes, or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

    Make Sweet Potato Mixture: In a mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes using a fork or potato masher until smooth. Add the milk, melted butter (or olive oil), and eggs; mix well until fully combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet sweet potato mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

          Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

            Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a bit of oil. Pour a ladleful of the sweet potato batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4-6 minutes (cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron). Remove and repeat with the remaining batter.

              Assemble Sandwiches: Take two waffles and layer them with your choice of deli meat and any optional toppings you like, such as avocado, arugula, or a fried egg. Place the second waffle on top to create a sandwich.

                Serve and Enjoy: Cut the sandwiches in half and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick!
