Calories: 227kcal
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bacon
- 3 medium sweet potatoes peeled and grated (about 6 cups)
- 1 small shallot chopped or grated (about 2 Tablespoons)
- 5 eggs
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted, plus more for waffle iron
For topping:
- fried eggs
- green onions chopped
- avocado sliced
- red pepper flakes
- Flaky sea salt & black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line two large baking sheets with aluminum foil and lay bacon on each sheet, with space between. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until desired crispiness. Drain on paper towels and set aside to cool.
- Peel and grate your sweet potatoes. Lay 2 layers of paper towels on the countertop, then spread your potatoes over the towels. Lay another two layers of paper towels on top and press with the heel of your palm to remove water from the potatoes. If needed, repeat with a dry layer of paper towels. Transfer sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
- In a medium bowl, mix together shallot, half the crumbled bacon, eggs, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and break up your eggs.
- Add the egg mixture along with the melted butter to the large bowl with sweet potatoes. Stir to combine.
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high and brush with melted butter or oil. Spread about 1 cup of batter on the waffle iron. Cook until golden and crispy, then carefully remove from the waffle iron. Top with fried egg, avocado, green onions, red pepper flakes, additional crumbled bacon, and serve immediately.
