Here’s a fun and savory Loaded Potato Waffles recipe, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a delicious side dish:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (leftovers work great!)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream (for serving)
- Additional toppings (like more cheese, bacon, or chives)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon (if using), and chopped green onions.
- Add the eggs and milk to the mixture and stir until well combined.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the potato mixture, stirring until everything is incorporated into a thick batter.
3. Heat the Waffle Iron:
- Preheat your waffle iron and spray it with non-stick cooking spray or brush with melted butter.
4. Cook the Waffles:
- Spoon a portion of the potato batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron (about 1/2 cup, depending on your waffle maker size).
- Close the waffle iron and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
5. Serve:
- Serve the waffles hot with a dollop of sour cream and extra toppings like more cheese, green onions, or crumbled bacon for added flavor.
Tips:
- You can customize these waffles by adding cooked sausage, ham, or even jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- If you want extra crispy waffles, cook them a little longer or turn up the heat on your waffle iron.
These Loaded Potato Waffles are a great twist on a classic comfort dish—crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor!
