These crispy, cheesy hash brown waffles made with sharp cheddar and fresh chives are a quick and easy breakfast or snack that delivers perfect crunch without the fuss of pan-frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (about 10.5 oz or 300g) shredded potatoes, frozen or fresh
  • 1 cup (about 4 oz or 100g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Cooking spray or oil for greasing the waffle iron

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: If using fresh potatoes, shred finely and squeeze out excess moisture using a kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Thaw and drain frozen shredded potatoes well. This takes about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine shredded potatoes, shredded sharp cheddar, chopped chives, egg, sour cream or Greek yogurt, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly incorporated. Add more flour if mixture is too loose. This takes about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil. Wait until ready, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Cook the waffles: Spoon about 1/2 cup (4 fl oz or 120 ml) of the potato mixture onto the center of the waffle iron. Spread slightly but do not overfill. Close lid and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Check at 6 minutes and add more time if needed.
  5. Remove and serve: Use a spatula or tongs to carefully lift waffles out. Let cool slightly on a wire rack to maintain crispiness. Serve warm with desired toppings.

Notes

Remove excess moisture from potatoes to ensure crispiness. Use sharp cheddar for best flavor and melt. Grease waffle iron well before each batch to prevent sticking. Let waffles cool on a wire rack to keep crisp. Can be stored in fridge for 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in toaster oven or conventional oven to maintain crispiness.
