Families are our biggest blessings! Never static, always changing, young with old and always on the move.
Families may be scattered by distance, but never in heart.

Savory and Sweet Potato Waffles

Savory and Sweet Potato Waffles


Ingredients

1 large sweet potato
1/4 t. sage
1/4 t. granulated garlic
3/4 c. French's fried onions
2 eggs
fresh rosemary springs



Directions

Peel and shred the sweet potato.  Put them into a medium size bowl.  Remove the leaves from about 6" of the rosemary and chop them into smaller pieces.  Mix the chopped rosemary, garlic, eggs and fried onions with the shredded sweet potato.  Preheat the waffle iron.  Spray the waffle iron with a Pam or another non-stick spray.  Once it is preheated, add enough of the mixture to generously cover the waffle iron.  Close the lids and cook until the waffle is browned.   Remove the waffle.  You might need to turn the waffle iron upside down to remove the waffle in one piece. 
Serve with maple syrup and rosemary sprigs, if desired. 

ENJOY!
