Crispy, Cheesy Potato Waffles
Description
The sky's the limit with these crispy, cheesy waffles--serve them on their own as a side dish, as a base for a breakfast taco, or in place of a roll on a pork and slaw sandwich.
Ingredients
•
6 medium russet potatoes
•
4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
•
2 tablespoons milk
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1 teaspoon onion powder
•
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
1
Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
2
Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
3
Preheat a nonstick waffle iron for medium heat according to manufacturer's instructions.
4
Scoop potato flesh into a large bowl with butter, milk, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper; mash until creamy. Stir in Cheddar cheese until evenly distributed. Discard potato skins or set aside for another use.
5
Place some potato mixture in the preheated waffle iron; do not cover the entire surface. Close the iron and the batter will spread out. Cook until brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
