Ingredients

produce
  • 2russet potatoes(peeled and shredded)
dairy
  • 2 teaspoonsunsalted butter
pantry staple
  • 1/2 teaspoonkosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoonblack pepper(freshly ground)

Instructions

  1. Preheat waffle iron. If it has temperature controls, set it to medium.
  2. Squeeze shredded potato with a towel until it’s as dry as possible.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded potato, salt, and pepper.
  4. Using a silicone brush or paper towel, carefully grease both sides of waffle iron with butter.
  5. Pile shredded potatoes into waffle iron, over-stuffing it a bit, and close lid. Cook for 2 minutes, then press down on lid to further compress potatoes.
  6. Continue cooking potatoes for 5 minutes longer, then begin checking them: They are ready when potatoes are golden brown all over, about 1 to 2 minutes longer.
  7. Serve hot with eggs or any other breakfast foods.

My notes

The cooking time will depend on how finely your potatoes are shredded and the temperature of your waffle iron.
