Description

Crispy hash brown waffles with melted egg & cheese create a breakfast revolution. Golden potato lattices cradle gooey cheese and perfectly cooked eggs, offering comfort and excitement in every delightful bite you’ll savor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or favorite cheese)
  • 2 cups (500 ml) frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooking spray or little oil for greasing waffle iron
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, green onions, avocado, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Warm the waffle iron and thoroughly coat the surface with a light layer of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mixing: Combine hash browns, eggs, shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Cooking: Center a generous portion of the hash brown blend into the waffle iron, gently spreading it to create an even layer, then close the lid and allow the waffle to crisp and transform into a golden-brown delight for approximately 5-7 minutes.
  4. Serving: Delicately extract the perfectly cooked hash brown waffle from the iron, repeating the process with the remaining mixture until all the batter is transformed into crispy, cheesy waffles ready to be enjoyed.

Notes

  • Generously spray waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal and crispy edges.
  • Squeeze excess moisture from hash browns using a clean kitchen towel to create crispier, more structured waffles.
  • Experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss to enhance flavor profiles.
  • For gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free hash browns; for low-carb option, substitute hash browns with cauliflower rice or shredded zucchini.
