ingredients
Waffles
3 medium
russet/baking potatoes, peeled and grated
2 tbsp
Crystal Margarine, melted
3 tbsp
fresh chives, finely chopped
1 tbsp
fresh thyme, finely chopped
1/3 cup
all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp
salt
1/2 tsp
cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp
baking soda
4
eggs
2 tbsp
milk
directions
Preheat waffle iron on medium-high heat. With a pastry brush, lightly grease the waffle iron with Crystal Margarine.
Place the peeled and grated potatoes in a colander and rinse well with cold water. Drain as much as possible. Place grated potatoes on paper towels or a clean kitchen towel and pat dry.
Place the potatoes into a bowl, toss with the melted Crystal Margarine until well coated. Sprinkle in the chives and thyme, and toss again.
Whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and cayenne pepper until combined. Mix the dry ingredients into the potatoes.
Whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the potato mixture and mix until just combined.
Place about ½ cup of the batter onto the middle of the preheated waffle iron. Close lid. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until the waffle iron is no longer steaming (or follow the manufacturer’s instructions).
Place into the oven to keep warm.
Serve waffles with sour cream or your favourite topping. Sprinkle with more chives.
Chef’s Notes:
- Preheat oven to 250°F (121°C). Place a baking sheet lined with parchment paper into the oven while it preheats. As each waffle is finished cooking, place into the oven, onto the hot pan to keep warm and crisp until all waffles are done.
- Serve with smoked salmon or sautéed kale or spinach for a heartier breakfast or brunch.
