Ingredients

Purple Sweet Potato Waffles

  • 300 g roasted Japanese purple sweet potato flesh about 2 medium potatoes
  • 1 large egg
  • 30 g all-purpose flour about 2 tablespoons
  • 12 g potato starch about 1 tablespoon
  • 15 to 30 g melted butter lightly browned if desired (about 1 to 2 tablespoons)
  • 15 to 30 g milk about 1 to 2 tablespoons, added gradually
  • 4 g kosher salt about 1 teaspoon

Sambal Ricotta

  • 240 g whole milk ricotta about 1 cup
  • 15 g sambal oelek about 1 tablespoon
  • Lemon juice to taste
  • Kosher salt to taste

Chorizo Honey

  • 225 g beef chorizo about 1 cup, loose, I like Cacique
  • 85 g honey about 1/4 cup

Instructions

  • Bake the purple sweet potatoes until completely tender and a knife slides through easily. Let cool slightly, then peel if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • While the potatoes are still warm, pass them through a food mill into a large bowl to create a smooth, fluffy base.
  • Add the egg, flour, potato starch, melted butter, and salt to the milled potatoes. Mix well, then gradually whisk in the milk until the batter is thick, smooth, and spreadable.
  • Preheat and lightly grease your waffle iron. Spoon in the batter and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the ricotta and sambal until light and creamy. Season with lemon juice and salt to taste.
  • Cook the chorizo over medium heat until fully rendered and crispy. Stir in the honey and let it simmer briefly until thick and glossy.
  • Spread a generous layer of sambal ricotta on the plate, place the waffle on top, and spoon the chorizo honey over everything. Serve warm.
