Sweet Potato & Chive Waffle With Poached Eggs
Ingredients:
1 Large Sweet Potato, shredded (2 packed cups)
1.5 Tbsp. Chives, chopped, plus more for garnish
1 Large Egg
Salt & Pepper
2 Large Eggs, room temp
1 Tbsp. Distilled White Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Sea Salt
Smoked Salmon
Instructions:
Shred It:
- Heat waffle iron to high
- Using a thin kitchen towel, drain the excess moisture from your shredded sweet potato
- Mix in chives
- Season with salt & pepper
- Add your egg and mix to combine
- Spray your waffle iron with a little olive oil
- Distribute your sweet potato mixture evenly, and cook until your waffle iron says it's ready
- Using a heat-safe spatula, gently loosen the edges and carefully transfer to a plate (this part is tricky).
Poach It: (I use the method from The Broad Fork, it’s everything!)
- Put 2 quarts of cold water & distilled white vinegar in your poaching pot & start to bring it to a boil
- Crack your eggs into individual ramekins
- Once boiled, add 1 tbsp. sea salt to your water
- Reduce your heat so your water is trembling, but not boiling
- Swirl the water a few times with a large spoon
- While the water is still swirling, gently pour each egg into the water individually
- Cook 4 min for a soft yolk
- Spoon out the eggs with a slatted spoon
Some Assembly Required:
- Top waffle with smoked salmon, poached eggs, and garnish with more chopped chives
