NOTES

This easy potato waffle recipe can also be made with mashed potatoes and frozen hash browns.

You can easily exchange the flour to all-purpose gluten free, oat, almond, or einkorn flour.

This recipe makes 5 full sized waffles. If you want to create more waffles that are smaller, use a 1/2 cup measuring cup instead.

Waffle iron should be set a touch above medium heat.

Tips for Making This Easy Potato Waffle Recipe

• You can use pre-shredded hash browns or leftover mashed potatoes to make the prep time faster.

• Add sour cream, eggs, salsa, avocado, bacon, cubed ham, nacho cheese, or salted jellies for delicious topping options.

• You can also add diced ham or cooked bacon into the waffle batter.

• These waffles are very filling, making smaller waffles may be the best option to feed more guests, and utilize the batter.
