Mashed Potato Waffles



Not sure what to do with leftover mashed potatoes?  Here's something you may not have thought of.  Pull out your waffle iron and cook up some savory waffles for a brunch treat.

  • 2 cups cold leftover mashed potatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped chives (or green onions)
  • 6-8 slices bacon, fried to a crisp and crumbled or cut into pieces
  • sour cream
  1. Preheat waffle iron on medium heat and spray with cooking oil.
  2. Combine potatoes, eggs, flour and salt in mixing bowl. 
  3. Stir in cheese and chives.
  4. Place a small scoop of mixture onto each section of the Belgian waffle iron and close lid.
  5. Cook until waffles are golden and crispy (about 5 minutes).
  6. Remove waffles and repeat with remaining potato mixture. 
  7. Serve waffles topped with sour cream, chopped green onion, and bacon pieces.
Yield: 8 small potato waffles

  1. What a great idea! I’m going to try this! I made potato patties with the last batch of leftovers and I guess I forgot how to do them because they were awful!
