I actually used to be TERRIFIED of resistant starch which is what you find in white potatoes.<\/strong> However, when digested, white potatoes pass through the large intestine where it can feed on the good bacteria in your gut. This is beneficial for blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity.
When you add up the two, there’s no clear nutritional winner. They’re both kind of super veggies when it comes to the good stuff. Just don’t fry them in lots of oil\/butter, load them up with things such as heavy cream, bacon etc. Nothing beats new potatoes boiled al dente with the skin n, of course. Anyway, now to the recipe.
Sweet potato waffle batter
<\/strong>
You’ll need:<\/strong>
1 large sweet potato or 2 small (leftover or you’ll have to boil\/cook them)
1\/2 cup oats, finely ground in a pestle & mortar
1\/2 cup unsweetened oat milk (or whatever milk you prefer with a subtle taste)
2 free-range organic eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp mexican spice (or BBQ, Paprika, Cumin etc.)
Seasoning
Topping:<\/strong>
Avocado, sliced into thin slices
Pea-shoots
Quality tomatoes, cut into quarters
Cucumber, thinly sliced
Chicken (I had some lovely leftovers from a roasted chicken, but you can use chicken breast, pulled chicken or simply leave it out \ud83d\ude42 )
CRISPY bacon, crumbled
Nigella seeds
Chilli-Mayo<\/strong>
Flying Goose Sriracha Hot Chilli Sauce (or any hot chilli sauce you might have. Not sure tabasco will work, but you can but try)
Mayonaise
1\/2 lemon, juice
How to:<\/strong>
If you don’t have already-cooked leftover sweet potatoes, prepare them by baking them in the oven (poked a few times with a sharp knife) for 30-45 minutes.
Mince the now cooked sweet potato using a mixer or by chopping it finely with a big knife (it’s soft enough once cooked)
Mix the potato ‘mince’ and oats in a bowl.
Add the milk, eggs, baking powder and spices and beat until smooth.
Make the bacon by baking it in the oven for 15-25 minutes until CRISPY!
Prepare your waffle maker\/moulds and scoop in the batter. I use these moulds from Amazon: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2DFFvn0,<\/a>
Bake in the oven (180C) for 15 minutes in the mould – then I flipped it on baking paper, gently removed the mould and baked the waffles for a further 6 minutes.
