Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine grated potatoes and chopped onions. Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture from the potato mixture.
Add all-purpose flour, whisked eggs, and almond milk to the potato mixture. Stir well to combine.
In a small bowl, mix together baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add this spice mixture to the potato batter and mix until evenly distributed.
Fold in olive oil and fresh chives into the batter.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray.
Pour an appropriate amount of the potato batter onto the waffle iron (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup per waffle, depending on the size of the waffle iron) and spread evenly.
Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, typically about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the cooked waffles, repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve immediately with your choice of toppings, such as dairy-free yogurt, additional chives, or a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
