4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups mashed potatoes leftover or freshly made, seasoned
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Onion and Garlic
- In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring occasionally, and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat the Waffle Iron
- While the onion mixture cools, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray if necessary.
Combine the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic mixture with the mashed potatoes, eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. The batter should have a thick consistency.
Cook the Waffles
- Scoop approximately 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the batter (adjust based on your waffle iron size) and place it in the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy. Carefully remove and repeat with the remaining batter.
Notes
To make these waffles gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour. Ensure that any additional ingredients, such as the mashed potatoes or cooking spray, are certified gluten-free.
