Ingredients for Waffles
Instructions
Step 1
In a blender, combine the mashed potatoes, eggs, and milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This will form the base of your batter.
Next, add the warm grated cheese to the mixture and blend it all together. The heat from the cheese adds a lovely creaminess to the batter.
Gradually incorporate the flour into the batter while blending, ensuring it achieves a consistent texture. Finally, season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
Step 2
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once heated, pour an appropriate amount of the batter into the waffle maker, spreading it evenly.
Close the waffle maker and cook for approximately 4 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Step 3
Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles from the maker. For a delicious topping, consider adding cream cheese, smoked salmon, a poached egg, balsamic glaze, and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds.
Enjoy these savory waffles warm as a delightful breakfast or snack option!
Servings
Once your savory waffles are cooked to golden perfection, the serving possibilities are endless. Top them with cream cheese and smoked trout for a delightful brunch experience! Or add a poached egg right on top for that luxurious touch. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar for a burst of flavor, and sprinkle some black sesame seeds over the top for an appealing crunch. 🥚✨
If you're hosting a picnic or brunch, these waffles can also be served as fun finger foods. Pair them with a vibrant salad for a fresh twist or offer a selection of dips—think spicy mayo or a tangy yogurt sauce. 🌿🍋
Add some roasted veggies on the side to complement the dish, creating a balanced meal that is both satisfying and delicious. Your guests will be wondering how you did it!

To ensure a smooth texture, use a blender or mixer to combine the mashed potatoes, eggs, and milk. This is crucial for fluffy waffles!
You'll need a couple of mixing bowls to separate dry ingredients from wet ones. Using large bowls allows enough space for mixing without spills.
Variations
If you're looking for gluten-free options, simply substitute regular flour with a gluten-free blend or almond flour. Make sure to select a blend that interacts well with the other ingredients for best results! 🌾❌
For those following a vegan diet, you can swap out eggs with chia pudding (1 tablespoon of chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons of water) and use plant-based milk. Also, choose a dairy-free cheese alternative for that cheesy goodness! 🌱🍽️
