Ingredients

Waffle Batter

  • 350 g pumpkin puree fresh or canned
  • 300 g potato cooked, grated raw or replace with sweet potatoes
  • 75 g flour or a little more if necessary for consistency (see notes)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 100 g nuts (pecans or walnuts) chopped or ground (optional)
  • 1/2 onion grated or chopped finely. (optional)

Spices for Sweet Use of Waffles

  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ginger ground
  • 1/6 tsp nutmeg ground
  • 1/8 tsp cloves ground
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional)

Instructions

Pumpkin Puree

  • If preparing your own pumpkin puree, see instructions by following the link above in the list of ingredients.

Waffle Batter

  • Put the pumpkin puree and cooked or grated raw potatoes in a mixing bowl. Blend together until you have a fairly smooth consistency. Latkes do not need to be smooth so don't worry of there are chunks or pieces. See notes below.
  • Add the spices either for savory or sweet use of waffles. Mix
  • Add a whole egg and beat together lightly (just about 10 seconds by hand)
  • Mix the flour with the baking powder. Add the flour about a third at a time and mix together lightly. See notes below. The consistency should be like a cake batter or thick pancake batter. You may not need all of the flour.

Cooking Waffles

  • Follow the instructions for your waffle iron. Since mine is non-stick, no oil is needed. You may need to add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the batter or to your iron before cooking.
  • Continue cooking the waffles in batches. On my iron, I was able to make 4 x 2 large rectangular waffles weighing about 65g (2 oz) each. It took about 9 minutes to cook on my waffle iron, but this may be different on yours.
  • Serve with the toppings you want and enjoy.

Notes

If you use grated raw potatoes, make sure you put them in a fine strainer for about 30 minutes and then squeeze out any excess liquid. You can also wrap the grated raw potatoes in a cheese cloth and wring out the liquid.
For the flour, feel free to use half white flour and half whole wheat flour.  You may also blend other flours or grains to replace the same amount of flour.  For instance, I put 1/3 flour, 1/3 oat bran and 1/3 pre-cooked polenta.
