Sweet Potato Waffles

Preheat a waffle iron.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
In a large bowl, whisk together sweet potato purée, buttermilk, melted butter and eggs.
Add flour mixture to sweet potato mixture and stir just until evenly blended. Fold ham or smoked salmon, if using, into batter.
