4.4 from 63 reviews

Crispy and golden potato waffles made with grated potatoes, onion, and seasoned with salt and pepper. These waffles are cooked in a waffle iron until perfectly crisp on the outside and tender inside, ideal for a savory breakfast or snack served with butter, sour cream, and green onions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 waffles

Ingredients

Produce

  • 2 1/2 lbs potatoes (about 6 medium potatoes), grated
  • 1 small onion, grated

Pantry

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
  • oil, to brush on the waffle iron

Dairy & Eggs

  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron: Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to heat fully to ensure even cooking and a crisp finish on the potato waffles.
  2. Grate potatoes and onion: Using a box grater, grate most of the potatoes on the medium holes, and grate about a quarter of the potatoes on the small holes for texture variation. Grate the small onion as well and combine.
  3. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with salt, ground black pepper, beaten egg, and flour. Mix well to evenly combine all ingredients. Spoon off any excess liquid that rises to the surface to prevent sogginess.
  4. Cook waffles: Lightly brush the preheated waffle iron with oil. Spoon about one quarter of the potato mixture onto the iron, close it, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes until the waffles are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the potato waffles and serve hot topped with butter, sour cream, and chopped green onions for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use a mix of potato grating sizes to add texture to the waffles.
  • Removing excess liquid from the potato mixture is key to crispy waffles.
  • Brush the waffle iron with oil before each batch to prevent sticking.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the waffles while they are warm and crisp.
  • You can customize toppings like cheese, herbs, or smoked salmon for variation.
