A great way to make use of your leftover mashed potatoes! Crispy waffles with the savory taste of cheese, potatoes and a variety of spices. Serve them as a meal, a side dish or for breakfast!

When I discovered this recipe, I wasn’t quite sure about it. Mashed potatoes in the waffle iron? 🤔 Mmmm..interesting. Of course, we do love our carbs around here, so, I gave them a try.

These are amazing! Crispy, flavorful and easy to prepare.

Ingredients List:

• Mashed potatoes
• Bread crumbs
• Milk
• Eggs
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Baking soda + baking powder
• Dried spices: Salt- Pepper-Garlic powder-Onion powder-Oregano

Mashed Potatoes: If you have leftover mashed potatoes in your fridge, perfect! If not, you can always buy a pre made package of mashed potatoes. We are crazy about Bob Evans pre made Mashed Potatoes. If you can’t find this exact brand, many grocery stores have a brand equivalent. If you can’t locate a pre made pack and want quick mashed potatoes, buy a pack of potato flakes. They will give you mashed potatoes in about 10 minutes.

How to Prepare:

• Preheat your waffle iron and spray with non stick cooking spray.
• Next, mix together the mashed potatoes and remaining ingredients. Scoop about 1/3 cup of the potatoes and place on waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes or until cooked thoroughly or until they are brown on top.

A few notes:

• If desired, you can add more/less batter to the waffle iron for bigger/smaller waffles. Simply adjust your cooking time.
• Waffle Iron: Mine is a round classic waffle iron (see recipe card). I haven’t tried these with a Belgium waffle iron, but, it should work fine. You may just need to adjust your cooking time.
• Are your waffles sticking/breaking up on the waffle iron? Add an egg white to the remaining batter. This should help bind them together a bit better.
