Potato Waffles

The waffle maker is an excellent tool to not only make delicious sweet waffles that are more of a dessert, like Belgian waffles, but can be used for delicious savory meals too, like these incredible Potato Waffles. They taste very similar to potato pancakes or latkes but are thicker and have a crisp, golden crust that the waffle maker creates.

Step 1

Preheat the waffle iron. On my waffle iron, I can choose different levels of crispness, so I usually choose the most crisp option.

Step 2

In a large bowl, grate most of the potatoes on the medium holes of a box grater. Grate a small portion of the potatoes on the smallest holes of the box grater. (Out of 6 potatoes, grate 1 potato or 2 small ones on the small holes.) The medium shreds of potato will help the waffles hold their shape, as the potato shreds intertwine and cook together. The potatoes shredded on the smalls holes will give the potato mixture a more “batter” consistency and fill in the tiny gaps in between the potato shreds.

Step 3

Grate the onion on the box grater as well. The onion is optional, but I highly recommend it. Not only does it add flavor to the waffles, but it also helps to keep the potatoes from oxidizing.

Step 4

Add the egg, flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, ground black pepper to the potato mixture. Mix to combine. Use a spoon to remove any excess liquid from the top of the potato mixture.

Step 5

Generously grease both sides of the waffle iron with oil, making sure to get oil in all the crevices.

Step 6

Fill the waffle iron with the potato mixture, spreading it out to fill most of the surface of the waffle iron. For my waffle maker, I used 1/4 of the potato mixture for each waffle, making 4 waffles total.

Step 7

Cook until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

Serve the potato waffles hot, with butter, sour cream, green onions or chives.
