These savory potato waffles taste like delicious potato pancakes or latkes but with an amazingly crisp and golden crust. Made with shredded potatoes, they have an interesting texture with a subtle onion flavor.
Prep: Preheat the waffle maker at a medium-high to high setting (4 to 6 on Cuisinart Belgian waffle maker).
Potatoes: Using the large holes on a box grater or a food processor, finely shred the potatoes and squeeze out excess juices. You can also try medium holes on the grater.
Other Ingredients: In a large bowl, take the potatoes, cheese, onion, egg, flour, salt and pepper. Combine using a fork until mixed well. You should have about 4 cups of mixture.
Tip: Scoop out any excess juices collected. If mixture is too dry, wait a few minutes for some juices to release.
Cook: Grease both sides of the waffle maker. Take a cup of the mixture and using a fork, spread it evenly on the pre-heated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook until crisp and evenly golden brown on both sides, about 6 to 8 minutes. Repeat to make a total of 4 full-sized waffles.
Serve: Carefully remove the cooked waffle using a fork and serve them hot with sour cream, ketchup, apple sauce or avocado dip.
Tip: You can keep the waffles warm on a baking sheet placed in an oven that has been preheated at 250°F.
