POTATO WAFFLES

Here's a quick and delicious way to use up those leftover mashed potatoes. You WILL need a waffle iron. These are basically potato pancakes (a.k.a. latkes) but without all the greasy clean-up and calories from pan-frying. I usually serve them with fish or chicken and sauteed apples.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces thick-sliced bacon
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more butter for serving
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
20 ounces refrigerated shredded hash browns
Vegetable oil, for brushing the waffle iron
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to keep the cooked waffles warm.
  • Preheat a square waffle iron. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels, crumble and reserve.
  • Whisk together the eggs, milk and melted butter in a large bowl. In a second bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, smoked paprika, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, taking care not to overmix (it's okay if there are some lumps). Stir in the crumbled bacon.
  • Put the hash browns in a large bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Brush the preheated waffle iron with vegetable oil. Sprinkle a quarter of the hash brown mixture evenly across the surface of the waffle iron, making sure it reaches the edges. Close the waffle iron and cook until potatoes are crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Spread one quarter of the batter over the potatoes, close and cook until the waffle is golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove the waffle to the preheated sheet pan in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and batter. Serve the waffles with butter and maple syrup.

  • Grate the potatoes finely: Grating the potatoes finely will help them to cook evenly and will also make the waffles more tender.
  • Add some shredded cheese: Adding some shredded cheese to the waffle batter will make the waffles extra cheesy and delicious.
  • Cook the waffles until they are golden brown: Cooking the waffles until they are golden brown will ensure that they are cooked through and will also give them a nice crispy exterior.
  • Serve the waffles with your favorite toppings: Waffles can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
