Crispy Cheesy Potato Waffles Recipes

CRISPY, CHEESY POTATO WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Preheat a nonstick waffle iron for medium heat according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Scoop potato flesh into a large bowl with butter, milk, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper; mash until creamy. Stir in Cheddar cheese until evenly distributed. Discard potato skins.
• Place some potato mixture in the preheated waffle iron; do not cover the entire surface. Close the iron and the batter will spread out. Cook until brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

CRISPY CHEESY SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Reserve bacon grease.
• Grease a baking sheet with a small amount of the bacon grease and place potatoes on the sheet. Smash potatoes with the bottom of a glass, then brush with more bacon grease. Repeat once more (smashing/brushing). Lightly salt potatoes.
• Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until crispy, about 15 minutes. Top with blue cheese and crumbled bacon. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 more minutes.
• Top with green onions and serve.

POTATO WAFFLES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes, and cut each into eighths. Place in a medium saucepan of cold salted water. Bring to a boil, and simmer until potatoes are very tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, and set aside in a bowl to cool. Mash into coarse pieces with a fork or pastry cutter.
• Heat the waffle iron. In a large bowl, sift together all purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, buttermilk, and butter. Pour into the dry ingredients, and stir briefly, until just combined. Stir in potatoes.
• In another medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold into the batter.
• Ladle about 1/3 cup batter onto each section of the waffle grid; spread batter almost to the edges. Close lid; bake until no steam emerges from waffle iron, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Transfer waffles to a baking sheet; place in an oven set to low heat, about 200 degrees, while using remaining batter. Serve warm.
