These Sweet Potato Waffles could not be easier! They have only 3 ingredients and get so very crispy in the waffle maker!
They are Gluten, Dairy free, and Paleo and Whole 30 compliant. Sweet Potato Waffles are also terribly delicious, as well!
With the new year just unfolding, many of us would like to try eating more healthy! The whole “New Year, New You” movement. To this end, I have, once again, collaborated with PAM®. This time for PAM® Spray Pump Avocado Oil.
You don’t have to add a lot of extra calories to get that crispy crunchy potato you crave. With PAM®, you can control the amount of oil you use on your familys’ meals.
For all of you in the US, you know that PAM® has been around for decades! I know my Mom starting using it when I still lived at home! It was, I believe, the original no-stick spray! We were hooked from the first time we used it!
I have found that I actually now prefer the PAM® Spray Pumps. I love that the Spray Pump is that the bottle is clear, so I can see when I need to put more on my shopping list!
No, you actually can not refill the pump sprayer with oil, and expect it to work like PAM®. PAM® is a cooking spray with superior performance, as opposed to plain oil.
How to Make Sweet Potato Waffles
These Sweet Potato Waffles are super easy! I find that they get crispier, if I let some of the water from the sweet potatoes, drain out of them.
- I used purple sweet potatoes.
- Peel sweet potatoes.
- Grate sweet potatoes with a course grater.
- Spread grated potatoes into a flat layer on cutting board, with layer of paper towel on the bottom. Sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Place sweet potatoes in between layers of paper towel and press down.
- Place something flat on top and weigh down with a heavy object.
- Let the potatoes drain for 30 minutes, or so.
- Break 2 eggs into large bowl.
- Whisk with cumin, salt and black pepper.
- Mix in sweet potatoes, so they are well combined. Place in preheated waffle maker.
It is best to separate the potatoes on the line, between individual waffles, for ease of breaking them apart. Cook until they are browned and crispy. Times will vary, depending on your waffle iron. Mine is ancient and they took about 8-10 minutes.
I picked up the PAM® Spray Pump Avocado Oil and a bunch of other ingredients at Walmart. It is so convenient to shop there because I have my choice of 2 super stores within 15 miles! My Walmart, in Webster, has the PAM and other oils, by the baking ingredients, located in aisle A16.
You can also purchase PAM® Spray Pump Avocado Oil on Walmart.com. Check your local Walmart for a demo of the product and to grab an awesome bag.
A Healthier Brunch with Sweet Potato Waffles
To boost up the health benefits of this meal, I chose purple sweet potatoes, which are a powerhouse of nutrition, according to this article.
Purple sweet potatoes are in the same family as their well known orange cousins. The purple color comes from a chemical called anthocyanin, which all red plants have in common. Purple sweet potatoes can help control hypertension, gout, may help improve diabetes and weight loss. They are huge in vitamins and minerals, as well, according to this article.
I also served these Sweet Potato Waffles with turkey bacon and local, organic duck eggs, to make it all the more healthier for my family, after the plethora of cookies we ate during the Christmas season!

I love how simple to make these waffles are, healthy too with sweet potatoes! I don’t make waffles often enough, this must change, need to try your recipe, thanks!
Thank you so much Patty! I don’t break out my waffle iron much either. I don’t know why, because we love them!
What a great idea! Love those purple sweet potatoes. A healthy twist on a breakfast favorite. Thanks for the prep tips!
Thank you Traci! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
What a great way to make crispy potatoes! Will this recipe work with regular sweet potatoes too? I’m not sure I’ve ever been in a store that stocked purple sweet potatoes! I always use Pam cooking spray too…
Yes, Jill! It will absolutely work with orange sweet potatoes too! Thank you!
I love that you used purple sweet potatoes! These waffles look both fun and delicious! I’ve never heard of the Avocado oil PAM spray, but I’ll be sure to look for it. I want to come to your house for some breakfast not only for the waffles but the delicious eggs!
Thank you Elaine! I think the purple sweet potatoes are so fun! I really love the PAM® Spray Pump Avocado Oil! It is so convenient and works so well with my old waffle iron! The eggs are really so delicious! Have a nice weekend!
Just when I thought breakfast couldn’t get anymore delicious, I find these!! Can’t wait to try them this weekend!
Haha! Thank you Nicole! I hope your family enjoys them!
Love the purple and it is so easy to make. I definitely need some healthy recipes after Christmas in NY. This PAM oil is definitely for me.
Thank you, my friend! I know what you mean about Christmas in NY! Too many over-indulgences!
These are so simple but look so deliciously crispy and tasty! I’m trying to get my children to eat more veggies at the moment and I think these might be a great way to get the one who doesn’t eat sweet potato to eat it!
They won’t even suspect sweet potatoes, Corina! What they don’t know, won’t hurt them! Thanks for your comment!
I’ve never made waffles like this and can’t believe it’s so easy and healthy too. Can’t wait to serve these for breakfast!
Thanks Amanda! Yes, they are quite easy and super delicious!
I love how easy these are – they are almost more of a fritter in the waffle maker, really, but can imagine tasty with those lovely crispy bits. The purple threw me off at first but looks pretty too.
The purple is kind of weird, but really taste about the same and are loaded with antioxidants! Thanks Caroline!
I LOVE this recipe for the way it uses the waffle iron and I can’t wait to try the Pam avocado oil spray.
I love using the waffle iron. It makes everything so crunchy!
Crispy and crunchy purple sweet potato waffles sound perfect breakfast for cold mornings, delicious and filling. wish I can get hold of purple sweet potatoes in my part of the world.
You could absolutely use orange sweet potatoes, as well!
