Recipe: Cheesy potato waffles

November 15, 2017 by Shari Leave a Comment

I shared the other day on Instagram (in my instastories) that you can cook your hashbrowns in the toaster. And I was surprised at how ‘poo-poo’ed’ the idea was. I definitely did not cause a fire in my kitchen nor did it become the only thing that my kids would eat. But I thought that I would share this recipe for cheesy potato waffles for those who think that everything needs to be made from scratch. 

The boys love these cheesy potato waffles in the morning – but I don’t make them very often as we don’t often have any leftover mashed potatoes…oh what’s that, my family of five polished off 2 kilos of mashed potatoes?

I am seriously worried about when these three boys are teenagers and how much food they will power through.

Anyways, back to cheesy potato waffles. I think that these are perfect for brunch. And I think that these could be a really delicious way to start Christmas morning. You could serve them with a little sour cream and smoked salmon – wash it all down with a little processco?

 

CHEESY POTATO WAFFLES

1/4 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp butter
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
3 Spring onions
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat the waffle iron.

In large bowl, whisk together butter, buttermilk and eggs. Stir in the mashed potatoes, spring onions and cheese until well combined.

Fold the flour mixture into the potato mixture until it’s well combined.

Scoop 1/2 to 2/3 cup (depending on the size of your waffle baker) of the mixture into the prepared waffle baker, spreading it into an even layer. (The potato mixture will not spread or expand as much as a regular waffle, so it’s important to spread it in an even layer.) Close the lid and let the waffle bake until golden brown and the egg is cooked throughout.

Transfer the waffle to a serving plate then repeat the filling and baking process with the remaining potato mixture.

Serve the potato waffles topped with sour cream and smoked salmon for something a little special.

Have you ever whipped up a recipe from my blog? I would love for you to let me know…So I don’t feel as if I am just writing all this stuff down for nothing… If you choose to whip up one of my recipes , then I would love for you to share it on social media, and don’t forget to use the hashtag #goodfoodweek.

Family meals for my tribe of 6
Get in my belly… I’ve been reading a lot abou Get in my belly…

I’ve been reading a lot about self love of late. I feel like there is so much self sacrifice when you’re a mother, and yet I am starting to realise that I need to love myself first to be a better mum and partner.

So here is to starting with something small for me. These @byronbaycookies are the business!!

However, I still seem to feel that mum guilt. I mean, I think I need to do a little more than just follow @drsophiebrock (@smallbusinessgrowthclub has so many good things to say about Sophie)… am I doing enough? Are they happy? Am I creating good memories for them? Am I giving them good life skills and coping tactics? Am I creating enough one on one time with each of them?

I know I’m a people pleaser, a perfectionist (and some … scrap that… most people I know say I am also an over achiever). How do I flip my thinking to focus more on the positive and not be so critical of myself? As I don’t want to pass on this trait to my kids.

Boil the rice. Stir fry the beef. Toss some gem lettuce with black sesame seeds and sushi seasoning. Top it all off with kimchi.

Mine was store bought. @staceyclare_healthcoach have you ever made your own kimchi? Have you got a good recipe?

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
