Ingredients
3 cups mashed potatoes (chilled)
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
Cooking spray or melted butter for the iron
Optional toppings: Sour cream, bacon, chives, smoked salmon
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your waffle iron to the highest setting to ensure the maximum crunch for your Crispy Potato Waffles with Toppings.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chilled mashed potatoes, beaten eggs, shredded cheddar, flour, green onions, garlic powder, and pepper.
Step 3: Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a thick, cohesive batter forms. If it feels too wet, add an extra tablespoon of flour.
Step 4: Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with cooking spray or butter. Scoop about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the mixture onto the center of the iron for each of the Crispy Potato Waffles with Toppings.
Step 5: Close the lid and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the waffle is deeply golden brown and releases easily from the iron.
Step 6: Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately with your favorite Crispy Potato Waffles with Toppings choice.
Notes
For the best results, use chilled mashed potatoes rather than warm ones, as the starch sets better when cold.
