Crispy Wafflemaker Hash Browns Recipe




Do you own a waffle maker but haven't explored beyond making waffles? You're in for a treat with this innovative recipe for crispy hash browns using your waffle maker! These hash browns come out perfectly golden and crunchy on the outside, while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside. Let's dive into this easy and delicious breakfast idea.

Ingredients:

  • 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter

Optional Add-Ins:

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Chopped fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Potatoes:

    • Start by peeling the potatoes and grating them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  2. Mix Ingredients:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion (if using), flour, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well combined.
  3. Preheat Waffle Maker:

    • Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Brush both sides of the waffle plates with vegetable oil or melted butter to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook Hash Browns:

    • Once the waffle maker is hot, evenly spread a portion of the potato mixture onto the bottom waffle plate. Close the lid and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  5. Repeat for Remaining Mixture:

    • Continue cooking the hash browns in batches until all of the potato mixture is used. You may need to brush the waffle plates with more oil or butter between batches to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve Warm:

    • Carefully remove the crispy hash browns from the waffle maker using a fork or spatula. Serve them warm with your favorite toppings or as a side dish for breakfast or brunch.

Tips for Perfect Hash Browns:

  • Grating Potatoes: Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes to achieve crispy hash browns.
  • Waffle Maker Size: Adjust the amount of potato mixture you use based on the size of your waffle maker.
  • Customization: Feel free to add shredded cheese, garlic powder, or fresh herbs to the potato mixture for extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions:

These crispy wafflemaker hash browns are perfect served alongside eggs, bacon, or sausage for a hearty breakfast. You can also enjoy them as a delicious snack or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce. Get creative with toppings like sour cream, salsa, or avocado slices for a tasty twist.
