Potato Waffle
A potato waffle is made primarily from potatoes, flour, and a binding agent such as eggs. Unlike traditional waffles, made from a batter of flour, eggs, and milk, potato waffles incorporate grated or mashed potatoes, giving them a unique texture and flavor. They can be cooked in a waffle iron, resulting in a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior.
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small onion, grated
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ¼ Cup chopped parsley
- 1 Clove garlic, grated
- Cooking spray or melted butter for the waffle iron
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel and grate the potatoes.
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Mix Ingredients:
- Combine the grated potatoes, onion, garlic, egg, flour, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Preheat the Waffle Iron:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
Cook the Waffles:
- Place a portion of the potato mixture into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy about 5-7 minutes.
Serve:
- Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and serve immediately. Potato waffles are delicious or served with toppings such as sour cream, chives, cheese, apple sauce, and poached eggs.
Notes
Tips:
- You can add some grated cheese, chopped herbs, or spices to the potato mixture for an extra flavor boost.
- Squeeze out as much moisture from the grated potatoes as possible to ensure crispy waffles.
- These waffles can be made in advance and reheated in the oven to regain their crispiness.
