This is one of those recipes where the outcome turned out to be a super exciting and delightful surprise! I’m just going to state it right up front: Hash Browns made in the waffle iron are the way to go, People! SO DARN GOOD.
The recipe comes from this super cool, new book from Daniel Shumski: Will It Waffle? He shows you how to make all kinds of things using your waffle iron, and they really work! I think it’s a super cute book to work through with your kids. And it would also be a fun gift for the holidays: waffle iron + the book. I have already tried the Waffled Banana Bread, and my family LOVED it. Other fun recipes in the book that my son and I plan on experimenting with: Griddle Grilled Cheese, Spaghetti and Waffled Meatballs, Waffled Macaroni and Cheese, Waffled Chicken Fingers, Waffled Onion Rings, Waffled Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies and Waffled Apple Pie.
It all starts with shredded potato mixed with a little rosemary, salt and pepper. Into the waffle iron it goes! My recommended waffle iron is THIS ONE. I love that it can make two waffles at once.
And then it comes out like this!!
Perfectly waffled! And Hash-Brown-Perfect too- crispy on the edges and potato cooked through.
I opt to top my Hash Browns made in the waffle iron with melted cheddar cheese, sour cream, crispy bacon and a sprinkle of fresh rosemary. In the author’s headnotes on this recipe, he states: “If I ever open a diner, these are going on the menu. Nothing else. Just these.” I COMPLETELY AGREE!!! These were the best hash browns ever. Split between me and my husband, it was the perfect treat for a weekend breakfast (though I would have happily eaten the whole waffled hash brown myself!)
