Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large Russet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons oil or melted butter (for cooking)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley or chives)
  • Optional spices: finely diced jalapeños, pinch of cayenne pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika
  • Optional veggies: finely chopped bell peppers or spinach

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes if desired and shred them using a box grater or food processor. Transfer the shredded potatoes onto a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure crispy hash browns.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, finely chopped onion, salt, pepper, and any optional add-ins like cheese or herbs. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed and seasoned.
  3. Preheat the Waffle Maker: Plug in your waffle iron and allow it to heat to a medium-high setting. Brush or spray both sides of the waffle plates with oil or melted butter to prevent sticking and help develop a golden crust.
  4. Cook the Hash Browns: Place a generous spoonful of the potato mixture onto the waffle iron, spreading it evenly but not too thickly. Close the lid gently and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the hash browns are crisp and golden brown on both sides.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the hash brown waffles from the iron using a spatula. Serve hot and enjoy the crispy outside and fluffy inside. Repeat with remaining mixture.

Notes

  • Dry potatoes thoroughly to maximize crispiness.
  • Use a non-stick spray or brush with oil/butter to prevent sticking.
  • Do not overfill the waffle iron; cook in thin, even layers.
  • Allow steam to escape by leaving the waffle iron slightly ajar if needed to avoid sogginess.
  • Experiment with seasonings like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or fresh herbs for unique flavors.
