Do you have any leftover boiled potatoes? You can turn those humble potatoes into delightful waffles! Instead of using flour, we’ll highlight the natural charm of potatoes to create ‘crispy outside, fluffy inside’ potato waffles. With just a waffle maker, anyone can easily and enjoyably follow this recipe. They are perfect as a snack for kids or as a light meal replacement. You can also enjoy even richer flavors by adding cheese while they’re warm, or by pairing them with yogurt.
Key Ingredients
- 4 cooled boiled potatoes
- A handful of sprouts
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your boiled potatoes that have already cooled down. Using cold, cooled potatoes is easier for shaping than freshly boiled warm ones.
Step 2
Peel the skin off the prepared boiled potatoes and roughly chop them into manageable pieces for the waffle maker. Avoid chopping them too small, as they might fall apart; aim for bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Before using the waffle maker, preheat it thoroughly. Once preheated, generously grease both the top and bottom plates of the waffle maker with cooking oil or butter. This step prevents the potatoes from sticking and helps achieve a crispier texture.
Step 4
Now, evenly arrange the chopped boiled potato pieces onto the preheated waffle maker. Don’t overcrowd the maker; too many potatoes will make the waffles thick and increase cooking time. Use an appropriate amount based on your waffle maker’s size.
Step 5
After placing the potatoes, close the waffle maker lid and press down firmly to seal it. Cook on low heat, flipping the waffle maker several times every 5 minutes. Continue for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown to your liking. Frequent flipping ensures even cooking and extra crispiness.
Step 6
Once the potatoes are sufficiently cooked, they will turn a golden brown on the outside and become tender on the inside, achieving that perfect ‘crispy outside, fluffy inside’ texture.
Step 7
Carefully remove the perfectly cooked potato waffles from the waffle maker and place them onto a serving plate. Be mindful as they will be hot.
Step 8
Garnish your potato waffles with a nice portion of fresh sprouts. For an extra treat, you can place slices of cheese on top while the waffles are still hot; the melting cheese will add a wonderfully rich flavor.
Step 9
These crispy and fluffy potato waffles are delicious on their own, but they also pair wonderfully with sweet yogurt or plain yogurt for a delightful combination. They make for a satisfying breakfast or a healthy dessert!
