Latke Waffles

Latke Waffles

2 large or 4 medium (2 pounds) Russet or baking potato, peeled
1 medium onion, peeled
2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. table or fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 C. plus 2 T. all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
Nonstick spray, for waffle iron
2 T. fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish (optional)

Heat oven to 350. Lightly oil a large baking sheet and set aside. In a food processor or on a box grater, coarsely shred the potato and onion. For longer strands, lay the potato sideways in the chute of your food processor. Transfer grated mixture to a bowl lined with a fuzz-free dishcloth (linen is great here) or cheesecloth. Pull up the sides of the cloth, forming a bag of grated ingredients, and twist it until you’ve squeezed out all of the excess liquid. Let stand for 1 to 2 minutes, then squeeze out one more time. Discard the liquid in the bowl, then add wrung-out shredded potato and onion to it. Sprinkle baking powder, salt and several grinds of black pepper over mixture and stir with a fork until it distributes throughout the shreds. Add flour, and again, stir into the potato-onion mixture until the pieces are evenly coated. Crack eggs on top; use your fork to break up the yolks and stir them so that they’re evenly distributed through the batter. Heat your waffle iron to high heat. Once hot, coat lightly with a nonstick spray. Heap some latke mixture on top and spread it into an even layer. Cook until the latkes are a nice, deep golden brown underneath. (I found that the bottom colors better than the top, but you’ll even this out in the oven.) Transfer to oiled baking sheet, paler side down, and place in warmed oven. Continue with remaining latke batter. Keep latke waffles in oven until crisp (about 5 to 10 minutes), or until all the other parts of your meal are ready. Serve with applesauce or sour cream, latke-style, or breakfast-style, with eggs and bacon. Sour cream is pretty good with the eggs, too. Chives make it pretty.

WIW: Cheesy Leftover Mashed Potato Waffles

WIW: Cheesy Leftover Mashed Potato Waffles

WIW: Cheesy Leftover Mashed Potato Waffles

2 T. Vegetable Oil

2 ½ C. leftover Mashed Potatoes

½ C. AP Flour

¼ C. Buttermilk

3 T. Scallions, chopped

½ tsp. Baking Powder

2 Eggs

1 C. shredded Cheddar Cheese

¼ tsp. Baking Soda

 

Preheat the waffle baker and grease it with cooking spray. In large bowl, whisk together oil, buttermilk and eggs. Stir in the mashed potatoes, scallions and cheese until well combined. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Fold the flour mixture into the potato mixture until it’s well combined. Scoop 1/2 to 2/3 C. (depending on the size of your waffle baker) of the mixture into the prepared waffle baker, spreading it into an even layer. (The potato mixture will not spread or expand as much as a regular waffle, so it’s important to spread it in an even layer.) Close the lid and let the waffle bake until golden brown and the egg is cooked throughout. Transfer the waffle to a serving plate then repeat the filling and baking process with the remaining potato mixture. Serve the potato waffles topped with sour cream and garnished with additional chopped scallions. Notes: All leftover mashed potatoes will vary in consistency depending on how much cream, milk or melted butter you added to the original batch. If the waffle batter looks too dry and isn’t holding together, add one more egg. If it looks too wet, add more flour, 1 T. at a time, until the mixture is cohesive. Do not lift up the waffle baker lid too soon or you’ll risk having the mixture separate and stick to the waffle baker. Allowing the waffle to cook through before opening the waffle baker ensures the waffle can be removed whole.
