Ingredients
Hash Brown Waffle Mixture
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lb frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
Instructions
- Preheat waffle maker and oven: Preheat your mini waffle maker until hot. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to warm to keep the cooked waffles crispy as you finish the batch.
- Mix ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the lightly beaten eggs with garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Add the thawed shredded hash brown potatoes and stir well until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Cook the waffles: Spray the hot waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the hash brown mixture onto the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy.
- Keep waffles warm: Remove the cooked hash brown waffle and place it on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet inside the warm oven to keep crisp while you cook the remaining waffles.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining hash brown mixture in batches until all waffles are done. Serve warm and enjoy as a fun breakfast or side dish.
Notes
- If using only one mini waffle maker, cooking the entire batch may take some time; using two or a multi-mini waffle maker speeds up the process.
- A full-size standard waffle maker can be used, but avoid Belgian waffle makers with deep grooves for best texture.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the waffle maker model, so test your first waffle to determine optimal cooking duration.
- Nutrition information is an estimate and may vary based on brands and specific products used.
