Made sweet potato waffles this morning.
While the flavor was what I was expecting, they weren’t crispy on the outside like a waffle should be.
They were very much edible, just not the classic waffle crispness.
Anyone have suggestions to crisp up the outside or is it just a sweet potato waffle thing?

I've never gotten them crispy but it hasn't bothered me so I haven't really tried to get them that way.

I will also occasionally add dark brown sugar to the mix. Pretty damn good.

I’m OK with the way they turned out, was just wondering about the crispness.
Thinking it’s just the way sweet potato waffles are.
Added cinnamon and nutmeg, will give the brown sugar a try.
Thanks

Make sure your waffle iron is really hot. You should hear the butter/spray sizzle before you put in the batter.

Also...add 1/4 cup corn starch for every 3/4 cups of all purpose flour. You can also whip the egg whites...but I think that's a little over kill unless you're going directly to the iron with the batter.

Thanks. I had thought of corn starch. I’ll give it a try it next time.
I’ve read recipes with egg whites, seems a bit labor intensive, but that may be the trick.
We’ll see.
