- Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes for the best results.
- For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of softened butter.
- Substitute 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil for the butter. This substitution will make the recipe vegan and will also make the waffles lighter and crisper.
- Substitute 1/4 cup of applesauce for the egg. This substitution will make the recipe vegan and will also add a subtle sweetness to the waffles.
Savory Sweet Potato Waffles Replace the sugar with 1 tablespoon of garlic powder and 1 tablespoon of onion powder. Omit the nutmeg and add 1/2 teaspoon of paprika and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to the batter. Bake in a hot waffle iron until done.
Apple Bacon Compote - A sweet and savory compote made with tart apples, bacon, and warm spices that pairs perfectly with the 1948 Sweet Potato Waffles. The smoky flavor of the bacon and the sweetness of the apples help to balance out the savory flavor of the waffles.
Buttermilk Fried Chicken: Buttermilk fried chicken is a classic Southern dish that pairs perfectly with the 1948 Sweet Potato Waffles. The crunchy, savory chicken is a great contrast to the sweet and fluffy waffles, and the buttermilk marinade adds a subtle tangy flavor. The combination of the two dishes makes for a delicious and comforting meal.
FAQ
Q: How do I know when the waffles are done?
A: The waffles are done when they are golden brown and crisp. You can also check by inserting a toothpick into the center of the waffle and ensuring it comes out clean.
Q: What type of waffle maker should I use?
A: It depends on what type of waffle you want to make. Electric waffle makers are good for making traditional waffles, while Belgian waffle makers are better for making light and fluffy waffles. There are also stovetop models that work well for making thin and crispy waffles.
