Notes
Tips and Tricks
- Squeeze Out Excess Moisture – If your potato mixture seems too wet, use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to squeeze out extra liquid before mixing with other ingredients. This helps create crispier waffles!
- Customize the Flavor – Add shredded cheese, garlic powder, or fresh herbs like parsley for extra flavor.
- Keep Warm – If making a large batch, keep cooked waffles warm on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while you finish the rest.
- Storage & Reheating – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven, or air fryer to keep them crispy.
