Description

Crispy Waffle Maker Hash Browns are a quick and easy breakfast treat that offers a golden, crunchy texture with a flavorful seasoning blend. Using grated russet potatoes combined with garlic and onion powders, black pepper, and olive oil, these hash browns are cooked in a waffle maker for a perfect crispy crust every time. Ideal for those who love a homemade, savory start to their day with minimal fuss and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Potato Mixture

  • 2 large russet potatoes, grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Waffle Maker: Begin by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it reaches an even, hot temperature needed for crispiness.
  2. Prepare the Potato Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the grated russet potatoes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  3. Add Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil over the potato mixture and stir well until all the grated potatoes are coated, which helps achieve a golden, crunchy texture.
  4. Spray the Waffle Maker: Lightly coat the preheated waffle maker with cooking spray to prevent the hash browns from sticking and make cleanup easier.
  5. Cook the Hash Browns: Place half of the potato mixture evenly on the waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the hash browns turn golden brown and crispy. Check occasionally to ensure they do not burn.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the cooked hash browns and repeat the cooking process with the remaining mixture. Serve hot with optional toppings like sour cream, chives, or shredded cheese for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
  • Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the waffle maker and ensure even crispiness.
  • Experiment with seasonings to personalize the flavor.
  • Let hash browns rest a minute after cooking to enhance their crunch.
  • Keep the waffle maker clean to maintain optimal performance and taste.
