Potato Waffles

Here's a quick and delicious way to use up those leftover mashed potatoes. You will need a waffle iron. These are basically potato pancakes (a.k.a. latkes) but without all the greasy clean-up and calories from pan-frying.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 eggs

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  • Step 1

    Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.

  • Step 2

    Cook and stir onion and garlic in the melted butter until onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

  • Step 4

    Combine onion mixture, mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until well blended.

  • Step 5

    Scoop 1/4 to 1/2 cup batter (depending on size of waffle iron) into the center of waffle iron and close lid. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
