BEST ALTERNATIVE TO HOT CHIPS EVER!!!
These are so easy to make. They don't take long and they can be served in so many ways.
Enjoy by itself, with tomato sauce, in a bread roll (who doesn't love a hot chip roll!!!???) served with salad, as a side or use them as a 'sandwich' to mix and match your veggies between 2 waffle potatoes!
Place potatoes in the microwave for 10 minutes with enough water to cover them completely. Drain the water and make sure the skin is dry.
Place a potato in a preheated waffle iron.
Press the lid til completely closed. The potato will squash down.
Heat for approx 4-6 minutes per potato.
You can press more than one potato at a time if you like. This will depend on the size potatoes you choose.
Do not lift the lid if you think the potato is going to stick, it means it's not cooked enough yet. This will pull the potato apart. If in doubt, wait a bit longer!
They will just get more crispy!
Now I really want a waffle iron!
ReplyDeleteGet one! They are sooooo handy!
DeleteK-mart has them for 10 bucks!!!! :-) Can't go wrong

DeleteOh no yet another kitchen appliance that I "need" lol! Those potato waffles look awesome. I know Lil' L would love them (and me too!)
ReplyDeleteyes yes yes everyone 'needs' a waffle maker! ;-) they are so handy! I'm actually surprised how much I use mine now!!!
DeleteYou know you're a genius right?
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing, my hubs would have this every night if we had a waffle iron haha
hahahaa not really but thanks anyway ;-)
DeleteYes my hubbie was sure won over with these too! :D
What a great way to enjoy potatoes! The waffles look amazing! Definitely worth buying a waffle iron:) Thanks so much for sharing this idea!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't live without my waffle iron lol
DeleteGlad you like it! :-)
This is amazing! I maybe hitting Amazon soon as I live off of Potatoes.
ReplyDeletelol - yep I think I may be responsible for a lot of waffle makers being sold ;-)
DeleteLove this idea! Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteThank you :-) Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
DeleteOh shoot. I wonder if it'll work in a Belgian waffle maker, since that's all I have...
ReplyDeleteCan't hurt to give it a try and see how it goes :-)
Deletethis looks amazing!! i don't have a microwave - I have a steamer, rice cooker and crockpot -- how would you recommend cooking the potatoes with those options so that i doesn't stick and comes out properly?
ReplyDelete(those are my only cooking options right now, we are in an RV)
Hmmmm well to be honest I haven't tried those methods of cooking them, I know it would work ok with baked ovens. You'd just have to give it a try and see what works :-)
Deletehow did I not see this!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletelol - blogs need a 'like' button just like facebook has!!!!
DeleteSteam them instead of microwave or parboil would also work ... no microwave in this home.
ReplyDeleteYes it definitely would still work :-)
DeleteHi Sandy, what a fantastic idea! I tried this today myself but every potato I put in there either stuck to the iron or became potato crumbs... Do you have an idea what I am doing wrong? ;) //Sam
ReplyDeleteHi Sam,
DeleteMake sure your waffle machine is VERY hot before you start, and also that the potatoes are very dry. See how you go :-)
How do you cook the potatoes if you don't have a microwave?
ReplyDeleteYou can cook them in a pot with water, just make sure they are really dry before you put them in the waffle maker or else they are more likely to stick.
DeleteYou said to cook the potatoes for 10 minutes in the microwave. How many potatoes? I see 3 small ones in the picture...is that how many you did for 10 minutes? Can't wait to try these!
ReplyDeleteYes 3-4, I find each potato adds an extra 2ish mins. It will vary with different microwave powers too
