Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the waffle iron to a medium-high setting and prepare it by spraying with cooking spray.
Peel and grate the large russet potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Finely slice the green onions and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the grated potatoes, green onions, and cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients, and toss to combine.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and melted butter.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Spoon a generous amount of the potato waffle batter onto the preheated waffle iron, close the lid, and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Typically, this will take 5-7 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the waffle carefully with a fork and keep it warm in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) while you prepare the remaining waffles.
Continue with the remaining batter, ensuring to spray the waffle iron with cooking spray as needed.
Serve the potato waffles hot with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, smoked salmon, a poached egg, or chives.
