Loaded Potato Waffles
These Loaded Potato Waffles have many of the things you'd find on top of a baked potato, like broccoli, ham and cheese. Cooked in the waffle iron, they get crispy and golden brown.
Ingredients
- 2 cups potatoes, shredded, squeezed dry (about 3 medium gold potatoes)
- 1 cup broccoli, shredded or packaged broccoli slaw from the produce section
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup deli ham, about 3 medium slices, diced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded potatoes, broccoli, cheddar and ham.
- Add the flour and stir to coat.
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs and the milk until fluffy. Add the egg mixture to the potato mixture. Stir to combine.
- Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Heat a waffle iron to medium high heat and spray inside surfaces with cooking spray.
- Scoop 2/3 to 1 cup of the potato mixture into the hot waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until light turns green, about 6-7 minutes.
- While the waffle is cooking, make a poached egg or soft scrambled eggs, if desired.
- Remove the waffle from the iron and top with extra cheddar cheese and a soft egg.
- Serve immediately with sour cream, chives and salsa.
Equipment
- 1 waffle iron
- 1 mixing bowl
Notes
Tips on Shredding Potatoes:
- Wash and peel your potatoes.
- Using a box grater, shred the potatoes onto a thin kitchen towel. This takes less than 5 minutes.
- Once shredded, gather the towel and squeeze excess water from the potatoes over the sink or into a bowl. Discard the water.
- This will allow your potatoes to crisp up nicely and not become watery when seasonings are added.
