Ingredients

  • 4 cups Mashed potatoes previously cooked
  • 1 whole Egg lightly beaten
  • ¼ cup All purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper
  • ½ yellow Onion shredded
  • ¼ cup Green onion diced
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Heat up a waffle iron to the medium high heat setting. While that is heating up, begin mixing your potato waffle batter, 
  • Add your mashed Potatoes along with the lightly beaten egg, flour, cajun seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, shredded onion, green onion, and shredded cheddar cheese, into a large mixing bowl.
  • Use a large spoon to mix the potato mixture up until everything is fully combined. 
  • Spray your waffle iron with a non-stick spray. Now scoop about one cup of the potato waffle batter into the center of the waffle iron, and spread it out a bit. 
  • Close the waffle iron and allow it to cook according to your waffle iron (until it is golden brown and crispy). 
  • Once the potato waffle is golden brown and releases easily from the waffle maker, it is done. Continue cooking each waffle until you use up the remaining potato mixture. 
  • Serve alongside your favorite breakfast with bacon and eggs, or as a side dish for lunch or dinner, and enjoy!
