Why sweet potato and not potato?
Sweet potato is also known in other places as sweet potato, sweet potato or sweet potato. Like the potato, it is a tuber, although more irregular and with a thicker and harder skin. It is usually recommended over the potato, since it has a greater amount of fiber and makes it more digestive. However, it is high in carbohydrates and has a nutritional value very similar to that of potatoes. It stands out, above all, its content in vitamin A, C, folic acid, potassium and iron.
It is recommended that people with diabetes, obesity or cardiovascular problems do not consume it. It has a large amount of carbohydrates and would be counterproductive in those situations. Even so, this characteristic makes it a perfect food for athletes, children and people who want to gain weight.
Ingredients
- 1 small sweet potato
- 2 whole eggs (or 2 whites and 1 egg)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Various spices: parsley, dill, chives …
Preparation
Pre-wash the sweet potato and cut it into very small pieces.
Add a little extra virgin olive oil to grease the pan and start sautéing the garlic clove (finely chopped above).
Add the sweet potato and cook for about 8 minutes. Stir so it doesn't burn.
Beat the eggs, add the sweet potato, spices, salt and pepper. Mix everything perfectly until there is a homogeneous mass.
Previously heated, we grease the waffle iron and pour the mixture. Close it and let it cook for 3-5 minutes.
You can accompany them with a little chopped avocado and a grilled egg. They are incredible!
