Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is key to crispy hash browns.
Transfer the drained potato shreds to a large bowl. Add melted butter, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Preheat your waffle iron to its medium-high setting. While it heats up, spray the plates with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Scoop about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the seasoned potato mixture onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it out slightly but keeping it thick enough to create a crispy waffle.
Close the waffle iron and cook for about 5–7 minutes, or until the hash brown waffle is golden brown and crispy. Cooking times may vary depending on the waffle iron, so check for doneness as needed.
Carefully remove the waffle hash brown using a fork or spatula. Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture, re-spraying the waffle iron as necessary between batches.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Pair with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, chives, or ketchup, if desired.
