I went to our Edible friends in Oklahoma for this sweet potato brunch recipe. Perfect for the morning after a big holiday meal or an easy, quiet supper, anytime.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups leftover (or fresh) mashed sweet potatoes
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup yellow corn meal
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup buttermilk
For topping:
  • leftover holiday ham
  • fresh arugula
  • poached eggs

Preparation

Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions. Put mashed sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl and mix in eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl combine flour, cornmeal, baking soda and salt; mix thoroughly. Add half the dry mixture to the sweet potato mixture and mix with a spoon. Add melted butter and half of the buttermilk. Mix again thoroughly. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients, then buttermilk. Mix into a batter. If the batter is too loose, add additional flour until you have a nice thick batter. Drop ¼–½ cup of the batter onto your hot waffle iron and cook approximately 10 minutes or until golden brown. Top the waffles with pan-grilled leftover holiday ham and a small handful of fresh arugula, then top with a freshly poached egg or two.
