Waffles
½ cup sweet potatoes, boiled and mashed
1 cup 2% milk
3 Tbsp sugar
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt

Instructions
Waffle batter
In a bowl, add mashed sweet potatoes, milk,sugar and butter. Stir until smooth. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt and add it to the wet mix.Stir until it comes together avoiding OVER-MIXING. Batter will be dry and thick. Using a hand blender whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into the batter. Batter will have lumps.
In a preheated waffles iron, add around ¾ cup batter or according to your waffle maker specifications. Cook as directed. Serve with fresh strawberries topped with sauce and whipping cream (optional).
Sauce
In a pot, add strawberries, vodka, sugar, water and lime juice. Let it cook for good 12-15 minutes until strawberries break down and it starts to thicken a bit. Blend until you get a smooth sauce.
