Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Potato Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  3. Add Olive Oil: Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the potato mixture until all the potatoes are well coated for enhanced flavor and crispiness.
  4. Spray Waffle Maker: Lightly coat the preheated waffle maker with cooking spray to prevent the hash browns from sticking during cooking.
  5. Cook Hash Browns: Place half of the potato mixture onto the waffle maker, spreading it out evenly. Close the waffle maker and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove and Repeat: Carefully remove the cooked hash browns and repeat the cooking process with the remaining potato mixture.
  7. Serve: Serve the crispy hash browns hot with your choice of toppings such as sour cream, chopped chives, or shredded cheese for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Using a waffle maker makes for extra crispy hash browns with a fun texture.
  • Make sure to grate the potatoes finely for more even cooking.
  • Patting grated potatoes dry before mixing can reduce moisture and increase crispiness.
  • Feel free to add your favorite seasonings or herbs to customize flavor.
  • Be careful when removing hash browns from the waffle maker as they will be hot and crispy.
