Crispy Hash Brown Waffles 🧇🥔🧀

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Hash Browns

1. If using fresh potatoes, grate them finely and place in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out excess moisture.
2. If using frozen hash browns, thaw them and squeeze out excess liquid as well.
3. In a bowl, mix the shredded potatoes with the egg, shredded cheddar cheese (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.

2️⃣ Preheat the Waffle Iron

• Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the plates with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3️⃣ Cook the Hash Brown Waffles

1. Place an even amount of the potato mixture onto the preheated waffle iron. Spread it out evenly to cover the surface.
2. Close the waffle iron and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
3. Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and let them cool slightly on a wire rack to maintain crispness.

4️⃣ Serve

• Serve the hash brown waffles hot with your choice of toppings like sour cream, green onions, or extra cheese. You can also add a poached or fried egg on top for an extra indulgence!
