Mashed potato waffles from scratch
Description
This recipe starts by boiling peeled and chopped potatoes until tender, then mashing them with warmed milk and butter. Flour, baking powder, garlic granules, salt, and Dijon mustard are mixed in to form a batter firm enough to hold shape. Adding grated cheddar cheese, diced crisp bacon, and parsley enhances the flavor complexity.
The mixture is portioned and cooked in a preheated, butter-brushed waffle iron for 7-8 minutes without pressing down, allowing the potato waffle to develop a crisp, golden crust while keeping a soft interior. These potato waffles offer a sturdy yet tender texture, combining richness and slight savory notes from bacon and cheese.
They can be served alongside breakfasts, brunch dishes, or as a side to meats. Their crispy surface and flavorful base make them a versatile addition to meals.
Ingredients
- 3 potato peeled and chopped, variety Rooster, large
- 1/3 cup whole milk 80ml
- 2 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 30g
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp garlic granules
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 5 Bacon fried until crisp, diced, strips
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese 60g, finely grated
- 2 tsp parsley chopped or chives chopped
- 2 tbsp butter melted, for brushing on waffle maker
Instructions
- Peel three large Rooster potatoes and then cut into smaller cubes.
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil, add a teaspoon of salt and the potatoes. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes and add to a large bowl.
- Heat the milk and butter in a saucepan or the microwave.
- Add a splash of the milk /butter into the bowl and start mashing the potatoes.
- Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic granules) and mix them in.
- Gradually add more milk until you have a fairly firm consistency. Add the mustard, herbs, cheese and bacon, if using.
- Divide the mash into 8 equal portions and form into balls – you can do this as you go.
- Preheat the waffle iron. Brush with a little melted butter and place one of the mashed potato portions on it.
- Brush the top of the mash with butter and close the waffle iron gently (don’t press it down).
- Cook for 7-8 minutes until the potato waffle is golden brown and crisp. Set aside on a wire rack while you prepare the rest of the waffles.
- Serve your potato waffles simply topped with soured cream and chives or go fully loaded! See notes for serving suggestions.
