Instructions
Step 1
Start by peeling and grating the **potatoes** on a fine grater. This will ensure a smooth texture for your waffles.
In a mixing bowl, combine the **grated potatoes**, **flour**, **egg**, and **sour cream**. Mix everything until you have a well-blended dough.
Step 2
Add any **spices** you prefer to the mixture and adjust to taste. This can greatly enhance the flavor of your waffles. Optionally, you can fold in some **grated cheese** for added richness.
Step 3
Preheat your **waffle iron** and lightly grease it, if necessary. Pour the potato batter into the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
If your waffles are not cooking through, you can finish them in a preheated oven at **180°C (350°F)** for about **10 minutes** to ensure they are fully cooked.
Step 4
Once cooked, remove the waffles carefully and serve them warm. Pair with **sour cream**, **herb oil**, and **smoked salmon** topped with **fresh herbs** for a wonderful taste experience. Enjoy your potato waffles as a delightful snack or appetizer!

Using a fine grater makes a big difference in texture. It helps the potatoes cook evenly and gives you that perfect crispy bite!
A good-sized mixing bowl ensures you have enough space to combine your ingredients without splashing everywhere. Easy cleanup is the way to go!
Variations
Gluten-Free: Substitute regular flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend. This recipe can easily cater to those avoiding gluten without sacrificing taste! 🍚
Vegan: Replace the egg with a flaxseed meal and water mixture (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water). For creaminess, use a non-dairy yogurt instead of sour cream. You won’t believe how tasty and satisfying these vegan potato waffles can be! 🌱
