I like to garnish these great mashed potato waffles with sour cream and chives, or even a simple cheese sauce. My mother used to sprinkle them with a touch of sugar. —Laura Fall-Sutton, Buhl, Idaho

Bacon Potato Waffle Tips

What can I use instead of a waffle iron?

Instead of a waffle iron, trying making waffles on a grill pan. Preheat the pan to medium heat, then brush with oil. Ladle on the batter onto the pan with a ¼ or ½ measuring cup, then lower the heat. Cook on one side for 3-4 minutes; flip and cook the other side 3-4 more minutes. Waffles made on a grill pan will not have the same crispy brown edges as those made in a waffle iron, but they’ll have nice grooves to collect the syrup or applesauce.

Can you reheat potato waffles?

Yes, you can reheat potato waffles. Bake in a single layer on a baking sheet at 300° until heated through. You can also pop them back into the waffle maker for a few minutes to warm them up.
