Sweet Potato Waffles with Fried Egg and Scallions

This vegetarian sweet potato waffle recipe is hearty, savory, and satisfying — perfect for a weekend brunch or a light dinner. Topped with a fried egg and fresh scallions, it’s full of flavor and texture, all without the bacon.

Ingredients

For the Waffles:

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and grated (about 1 cup)
1 large egg
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon baking powder
Butter or oil for greasing the waffle iron

For the Topping:

2 eggs, fried to your preference
2 scallions, finely sliced

Instructions

Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, mix the grated sweet potato, egg, flour, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder until well combined.
Cook the waffles: Spoon half the batter into the waffle iron and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Fry the eggs: In a non-stick skillet, fry the eggs to your preferred doneness.
Assemble: Place each waffle on a plate, top with a fried egg, and sprinkle with scallions. Serve hot.
