These cheesy hashbrown waffles are super delicious and very easy to make. Everyone in your house (even the picky eaters) will love making these.
I love it when I can find a food that is so versatile that you can use it with just about anything. That's what happened when we made these Cheesy Hashbrown Waffles. These are different than your regular waffle batter. These are made with hashbrown potatoes!
My husband loves to cook breakfast for me. That is his thing. So, when we purchased a new waffle maker, he started looking for new recipes to make. He wanted to cook things in it other than just waffles.
He loves hashbrowns, so we decided to make some cheesy ones. You can also make cinnamon rolls on a hot waffle iron (which we are planning to do next!).
How to Make Cheesy Waffle Iron Hashbrowns
To make these waffles, you only need a few simple ingredients —
- Thawed hashbrowns
- Eggs
- Milk
- Cheddar Cheese
It's a very simple recipe. The cool thing about these waffles is that you can bump up the flavor by adding a sauce or throwing other things in the batter.
So — let's get started making these delicious potato waffles! If the hashbrowns have excess water once thawed, be sure to squeeze it out with a paper towel or a clean kitchen towel before making these.
In a medium bowl, combine all your ingredients and mix well.
I got a mini waffle maker a while back so I could make all those chaffles out there, but it is also good to make these as well!
Heat waffle iron until it says it is ready. Spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Then, add about 1 and 1/4 cups of the potato mixture to your waffle iron. The amount of fresh potatoes you use will depend on the size of your waffle iron.
Close the waffle maker and allow the hashbrowns to cook until the light comes on and says it is ready to eat and the waffles are golden brown.
Remove from the waffle maker and repeat the process over again.
The waffle iron makes crispy hash browns and the ooey gooey cheese! When the cheese cools down it helps hold the waffle together.
If you are pretty adventurous, you can make my poached eggs and my 3 ingredient hollandaise sauce and create an eggs benedict with them. You can also top it with an over-easy fried egg for a simple breakfast meal.
I just topped mine with some fresh-cut chives and served it up with a side of bacon and some fresh-cut tomatoes.
A variation of this is to use these waffles as a loaded potato. Top it with sour cream, butter, bacon bits, and green onions. This would make the perfect base to create a loaded potato dish.
