• Waffles

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1⁄2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup mashed cooked purple sweet potato

• 1⁄2 a red onion, thinly sliced

directions

1. To make the waffles, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ube, and vegetable oil until well combined. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until the mixture comes together. Try not to over mix.
2. Pour the mixture by the 1/3 cup into a preheated greased waffle iron. Cook until lightly golden and crispy, according to the directions on your waffle iron.
3. Transfer to a wire rack and keep warm in a preheated 250 degree F oven, while you continue to make the rest.
4. Scoop out the avocado and place it in a medium bowl. Using a fork, mash together with the lime juice, salt, pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
5. To assemble the waffles, top each with a bit of the mashed avocado, a fried egg, and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes, red onion, feta and parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy.
