1 large egg and 4 egg whites
1 ½ Tablespoons olive oil

***
Directions …
— Syrup
In a small saucepan, bring cherries, sugar and water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the cherries cook down and the mixture starts to thicken to a syrup consistency. Remove from heat. It will continue to thicken as it sits. Optional: Blend using food processor or blender if you prefer a thinner syrup.
— For Waffles
Preheat waffle iron to medium-high setting. Meanwhile, squeeze excess water out of grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel.
In a medium bowl, mix together potatoes, eggs, olive oil, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper.
Spray waffle iron with a non-stick cooking spray. Spoon a layer of potato mixture onto the surface leaving about ½” from the edges. Close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes, checking occasionally. Continue to cook for about 2 more minutes or until golden brown.
Transfer to a warm oven while you finish the remaining batches. Serve with warm cherry syrup.
