Servings : 10 Yields
Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- 1/4 cup gluten free panko crumbs
- 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, plus more for topping (optional)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, or to taste, plus more for serving
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- sour cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron and grease with cooking spray.
- Combine all of the ingredients, except for the sour cream, in a large mixing bowl; mix and stir until thoroughly incorporated.
- If you want smaller waffles, scoop out about 1/3 cup of the batter and form into a patty. For bigger waffles, use 1/2 cup of the batter. For a perfect serving size, use 2 ounces of the batter per waffle.
- Transfer to preheated waffle iron and close; cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked through and browned on top. Cooking time will depend on the size of the waffles.
- Remove from waffle iron, top with a sprinkle of cheese (optional) and set aside.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the potato waffles with sour cream and fresh chives.
Notes
- Everybody’s recipe for mashed potatoes is going to vary in texture and moisture; if the waffle batter looks dry and is not holding together, add more liquid or one more egg. If it looks too wet, add more panko crumbs. You are looking for a mixture that is cohesive and not runny.
