Ingredients

Scale

Mashed Potato Waffles

  • 2 cups cold leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, add the cold leftover mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined. Then fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives evenly into the mixture.
  2. Preheat and Grease Waffle Iron: Spray your waffle iron with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking and preheat it to the highest heat setting for a crisp finish.
  3. Cook the Waffles: Spoon 1/2 cup of the mashed potato batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and have a slightly crispy texture, which usually takes about 4-6 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. For mini waffles, use 1/4 cup of batter per waffle instead.

Notes

  • All-purpose flour helps to bind the waffles; you can substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
  • Leftover mashed potatoes should be cold to help maintain the batter consistency.
  • You can customize by adding other herbs or spices to taste.
  • Ensure the waffle iron is properly greased to avoid sticking.
  • Serve immediately for best crispiness, or reheat in a toaster or oven to maintain texture.
