Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup monterey jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup refried beans
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 large avocado
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece lime
- optional hot sauce
- for waffle iron cooking spray
Instructions
Peel and grate the russet potatoes. Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much moisture from the grated potatoes as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, Monterey Jack cheese, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Using about 1/2 cup of the potato mixture for each waffle, spread the mixture evenly onto the waffle iron. Close the waffle iron and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture and keep the waffles warm in a low oven if needed.
While the waffles are cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Fry the eggs to your preferred doneness (sunny side up is traditional for huevos rancheros). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat. If they are too thick, stir in a tablespoon of water or milk to reach your desired consistency.
Dice or slice the avocado and set aside.
To assemble, place a potato waffle on a plate. Spread a layer of warm refried beans over the waffle. Top with fried eggs, a generous spoonful of salsa, avocado slices, cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Add a dash of hot sauce if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Huevos Rancheros Potato Waffles!
